Overview
The Plant Protection program of the Isfahan University of Technology involves many disciplines, requiring knowledge of the biology of pests, principals of crop production, biotechnology, pesticide toxicology, and environmental science. Besides, plant protection is an integrated approach based on biological control strategies, population dynamics and a molecular and genetic understanding of plant-pathogen, plant-insect and plant-weed interactions in order to minimize damaging species' impacts upon natural environments.
