This course discusses various aspects in relation to the basic principles of plant disease management (protection and control) and the effectiveness in tropical areas (especially Southeast Asia). The method of management include chemical, biological, and cultural controls, use and manipulation of resistant cultivars, and finally through legislation particularly plant quarantine. Integrated disease management and application of biotechnology and molecular biology techniques also will be discussed by using global examples. This course will conclude with a detail discussion on important diseases and pathogens in the tropics (mainly Malaysia) and their effective management currently being practiced.
