Formation's goal
Career opportunities
The "Plant Protection" license is a training course that finds its importance in its interdisciplinary dimension and in its structure of teaching units. It aims to pool all of the natural and applied sciences in order to understand and act on the management of agro-ecosystems. The study of the different control methods and their interactions with living organisms that are both harmful and useful, in the context of the preservation of cultivated and natural environments. The training allows (i) To acquire essential knowledge for the understanding of the abiotic and biotic processes which determine the functioning and the balance of the environments, (ii) To master the appropriate methods and techniques allowing to face the challenges of protection and management of agro-ecosystems, (iii) To acquire notions of toxicology and systems for evaluating the fate of phytosanitary products in the plant and in the environment, as well as the risk of undesirable side effects.
Sectors:
Provide students with specialized training to enable them to integrate and optimize the various control methods in the protection of cultivated and natural environments. Also give them the ability to objectively analyze the main risk factors associated with the use of pesticides, biopesticides and fertilizers in agriculture, as well as their potential side effects.
