Preharvest Disease Management
Preharvest disease management studies the epidemiology and ecology of preharvest plant pathogens and develop sustainable and integrated disease management strategies through fundamental and applied research.
Postharvest Pathology
Postharvest pathology aims to improve disease and decay control in deciduous fruit products, through the design of appropriate disease management strategies with reduced reliance on fungicides.
Molecular Plant Pathology
Molecular techniques and technologies are used to accurately and quantitatively detect plant pathogens, to study their interaction with plants on a molecular and/or cellular level, and to investigate plant defense responses against them.
