Fachkompetenzen:

After completing this module, students understand in depth the potential of the respective antagonist groups, the biology of antagonists and their use in practice. Students are able to identify biocontrol relevant processes in ecosystems, to analyse their interactions and to estimate positive and negative consequences of biological pest control. They are proficient in drawing the necessary information for benefit-risk-analyses from the available literature and integrate this information into strategy models. Students are finally aware of the limits and risks of biological pest control.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

During preparation for the exam, while preparing and following up on lectures and with the compilation of a written scientific paper (in groups), students practice self-reliance, time management and team work. They practice both critical and analytical thinking and reading of scientific literature and they improve their capability of exploring and articulating a scientific issue. In case studies they learn to define scientific problems and design consistent research and development plans in biological pest control.

Anmerkungen:

Das Modul deckt ausschließlich die biologische Bekämpfung von Schadinsekten und -milben ab.
