Postgraduate Courses Postgraduate Courses for the Plant Protecti

The Plant Protection Department at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences is dedicated to safeguarding agricultural health through advanced scientific research. We offer specialized Postgraduate Courses designed for Master’s and PhD candidates who aim to master the latest techniques in entomology, plant pathology, and sustainable pest management. Our curriculum emphasizes the development of innovative biological and chemical control strategies to protect crops from devastating diseases and environmental threats.

By engaging in our Postgraduate Courses, students at the University of Baghdad gain hands-on experience in modern laboratories and diagnostic facilities. We focus on identifying plant pathogens, understanding insect behavior, and implementing integrated pest management (IPM) systems that are vital for ensuring food security and environmental safety. Our faculty provides high-level mentorship to help researchers publish impactful studies and lead in the global plant protection sector.
