Development of plant protection curriula in South America (Out-Line)

Abstract

The development of Plant Protection curricula involving Plant Pathology and Entomology in unified progams at agricultura! t research institutes, universities, and schools of agronomy in South America is in the beginning stages. Unfortunately, a lack of information regarding most countries does not allow a descriptive analysis on the establishment and development of plant protection programs throughout the Américas. Only plant pathology and entomology are registered as plant protection disciplines in South America.
