|
| 2- Course aims :- |
| - Biological control: The students should able to know the different species of insect predators and parasites which share the insecticides in controlling the insect pests. Also the students learned the microbial diseases of insect pests (bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, nematodes) which also take a part in insect control & recent methods of insect control by radiation or sterile male technique.
- Plant pests: The student should be able to differentiate between the different pests.
- Chemical control: To prepare a community oriented entomologists capable of controlling harmful insects.
- Develop a graduate who will apply the knowledge and skills learned and is able to take leadership in motivating the community served.
- Influence the students to adopt healthy lifestyle.
