Objective of the Course:
The students estimate populations of insect, mite or nematode which live on plants, crops or in soil and follow population variations with scientific methods. In this way students can be informed of using scientific methods to follow the economic injury level, emergence adult and other biological stage. Furthermore they can design an experiment and evaluate data, obtained experiment different methods.
