Plant diseases are omnipresent and incredibly impactful in artificial (e.g. farms, managed landscapes) and natural (e.g. forests, meadows) systems. How do we recognize diseases and then manage them? What are the experts in the field that we can rely on to help us diagnose plant diseases? During this course, we will learn to (1) recognize important categories of plant diseases, (2) diagnose the main types of pathogens (Fungi, Oomycota, Bacteria, Viruses and Nematodes) and (3) manage diseases sustainably.
