|---|---|
| THE COURSE GIVES THE KNOWLEDGE ON AGRONOMY AND CROP TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO MEDICINAL PLANTS AS WELL AS ON PLANT PATHOGENS AND THEIR MAJOR DISEASES AFFECTING MEDICINAL PLANTS, DIAGNOSTIC METHODS AND CONTROL OF THE MENTIONED DISEASES BY USING ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY MEANS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: FUNDAMENTALS OF AGRONOMY AND CROP TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS OF GENERAL ASPECTS OF PLANT PATHOLOGY AND SPECIFIC DISEASES AFFECTING MEDICINAL PLANTS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ON AGRONOMY AND CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES TO THE PLANNING OF SUSTAINABLE MEDICINAL CROP SYSTEMS AND IDENTIFYING, PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING DISEASES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| FOR SUCCESSFUL ACQUISITION AND APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE MAIN CONTENTS OF THE COURSE IT IS REQUIRED THAT STUDENTS HAVE PASSED THE PROPEDEUTIC EXAM OF PLANT BIOLOGY AND BOTANY. |
