Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to students; To understand the biological control methods against diseases and pests and what methods to use natural enemies in the fight against pests, to recognize natural enemies, especially biological warfare factors, to use them to suppress pests, to observe the basic mechanisms of interactions between microorganisms against disease factors within ecological criteria, To comprehend the methods of obtaining microorganisms that have been successful in biological control.
Course Content
Biological Warfare with Pests Definition and importance of biological warfare Natural balance, economic damage threshold and its relations with biological warfare Terms related to biological warfare factors Biological warfare methods and its place in integrated pest management Introduction of biological warfare factors - Predators - Parasitoid Insects - Entomopathogens Diseases Biological Warfare Definition of biological control, terms, history and ecological environment Interaction mechanisms between microorganisms Biological control in systems related to plant environment such as rhizosphere and fillosphere Process of finding biological warfare elements Obtaining bioformulations and their application process Bioformulation examples available for commercial us
