The course inform the students with definition of phytopathology, selected phytopathological terms, history and importance of phytopathology and classification of plant diseases. Than the attention is paid on biotic causers of diseases (viruses, viroids, bacteria, fungi, protozoan, nematodes and parasitic plants); course of infection proces; defense strategies of plants to pathogens; genetics in the interaction host and pathogen and plant protection. The second part of lectures is focused on the most important diseases of field crops, vegetables, fruits, grapevine, technical crops and ornamental trees and herbs. 1. Introduction. 2.
