Our department is also responsible for teaching the weed science; the origin, the biology and the life forms of weeds, the damages caused by weeds; the weeds of certain crops and the related methods of weed control.
Students in the Horticultural Engineering and in MSc in Plant Protection/Plant Medicine program can choose dissertation topics from both plant pathology, protection and weed control.
