/Class Outline
(Summary) Plant pathology is a discipline that aims to (a) contribute to the improvement of crop production by researching various technologies that prevent disease, (b) reveal the transmission methods of diseases and mechanisms that cause illness, and (c) explore the causes of plant diseases.  
The range pf plant pathology handled is extremely wide. Further, there is a wide range of related disciplines from foundation to application. For this reason, plant pathology is also referred to as a comprehensive science that relates plant health to productivity. In this course, the overall picture of plant pathology will be introduced, focusing on fundamental matters relating to plant diseases.

General Objectives
1. Students will acquire basic knowledge relating to pathogens that cause plant diseases.
2. Students will acquire basic knowledge relating to the mutual relationship between plants and pathogens.
3. Students will acquire basic knowledge relating to the diagnosis, prevention, and control of plant diseases.
