Overview

Key facts

Plant diseases cause great losses, and without plant protection, production of many crops is not possible at all. In addition, the demand of the modern consumer market for ecological food puts forward another task — the search for non-chemical plant protection products, which is a profitable business today.

The globalization of world trade is impossible without a plant quarantine service that issues permits for import and export of crop products, as there is a constant danger of importing new types of pathogens, poor-quality food products that are dangerous to health.
All these are components of the profession of an international-level specialist in plant protection. This Plant Protection - Plant Protection Systemic Technology program is offered at RUDN University.
