The educational and scientific laboratory of phytopathology functions with the purpose of wide involvement of scientific and pedagogical staff and applicants of education of all levels of university to carry out fundamental researches and realization of applied developments on priority directions of scientific and innovative activity.
Laboratory research is carried out in the following areas:
– study of the features of the biology of the causative agents of the most harmful diseases of crops and monitoring of their spread and development;
– study of biodiversity of micromycetes of agricultural crops;
– study of the peculiarities of the formation of epiphytosis of the most harmful diseases and identify factors that contribute or inhibit this process;
– research of the modern range of pesticides and fungicides, biological and economic substantiation of their use in integrated systems of protection of crops against diseases;
– development of strategies and tactics for the use of pesticides and fungicides based on the study of the structure and dynamics of populations of pathogenic species by sensitivity, in order to prevent the development of fungicidal resistance;
– search of non-chemical methods of crop protection against diseases.
The laboratory is a structural educational and scientific subdivision of the Faculty of Agrotechnology and Environmental Use of Sumy National Agrarian University
The main tasks of the laboratory are:
- conducting laboratory and practical classes at a high scientific, methodological and technical level with students of specialties 202 “Plant Protection and Quarantine”, 201 “Agronomy”, 206 “Garden design and forestry”, 205 “Forestry”;
- assistance in the implementation of scientific work of students, graduate students and teachers;
- improving the quality of training of specialists in plant protection and quarantine, agronomy through the implementation of practical and creative components of the content of education;
- development of theoretical, methodological and practical bases of integrated systems of protection of agricultural crops against diseases in the conditions of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine;
- systematic updating and improvement of the training and laboratory base, technical means of training, computerization and informatization of the educational process;
- creation of safe working conditions at workplaces in accordance with the requirements of current legislation.
The laboratory is located in the assigned auditorium № 11. The teacher’s workplace is equipped with the necessary materials, adapted for the use of technical means, etc. The laboratory is equipped with educational and visual stands, technical means of training.
The laboratory of phytopathology operates on territory and research and laboratory base of the university, has the appropriate material support. It promotes scientific seminars, scientific conferences, meetings of the student scientific group “Plant Protection”, develops the necessary scientific and methodological materials for the educational process in accordance with current educational and scientific work of the university. On the basis of modern methods of monitoring and control of harmful organisms the “Forecast of phytosanitary condition of agrocenoses and recommendations on protection of cultivated plants from pests, diseases and weeds in farms of Sumy region” is developed.
The laboratory is a base for laboratory and practical classes for higher education students in educational programs 202 “Plant Protection and Quarantine”, 201 “Agronomy”, 206 “Garden design”, 205 “Forestry” in the following disciplines:
- Agricultural phytopathology;
- General phytopathology;
- Forecast of crop diseases development;
- Diseases of ornamental, flowering plants and protective forest strips;
- Basics of biological protection of plants from pests and diseases;
- Epiphytothiology;
- Population biology of phytopathogenic fungi;
- Modern methods of phytopathogen identification;
- Forest phytopathology.
Applicants study in the laboratory the types of pathogens of crops, plantations. In the process of training and research, pathogens are identified using the latest techniques. Mycological collections are supported and replenished.
Agricultural enterprises, farms, gardeners are offered cooperation:
- providing recommendations on the treatment of crop seeds with compositions of protective and stimulating substances and protection of crops from diseases;
- providing advice on the nature of the symptoms of disease in crops and forms of control of phytopathogens in crop rotations, which include a system of agronomic measures and chemical and biological agents;
- evaluation of the effectiveness of fungicides against diseases on crops;
- finding out the reasons of the mass accumulation of infection in the fields of crops and providing recommendations for controlling these dangerous phenomena and avoiding their negative impact on crops and plantations;
- conducting tests for the diagnosis and detection of diseases on crops and seeds;
- analysis of soil for infection with phytopathogens.
