Posted on 02 Mar, 2025 - Published by
The University of Turbat (UoT) organized a research-based field visit for BS Botany students to various farms in the Dasht area of Turbat as part of their coursework in Mycology and Plant Pathology, and Bacteriology and Virology. The field visit was supervised by faculty members Mr. Irshad Mayar and Mr. Wajid Ali, aiming to provide students with hands-on experience in identifying and understanding plant diseases in real-world conditions.
During the visit, students had the opportunity to observe fungal, bacterial, and viral plant diseases affecting different crops, examine disease symptoms and their impact on plant health, and engage in discussions with experts and local farmers about effective disease management strategies. This practical exposure enriched the students' understanding of plant pathology and strengthened their knowledge of disease control methods in agriculture.
The field visit not only bridged the gap between theoretical learning and practical application but also reinforced UoT's commitment to promoting research and experiential learning in the field of botanical sciences.
