• L'Institut Agro and AgroParis Tech (France): specialization in tropical horticulture and temperate vegetable crops.
• Università di Padova (Italy): specialization in temperate fruit crops, ornamental plants and landscape.
• Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain): specialization in Mediterranean crops in orchards and greenhouses.

The main aim of this course is to train highly qualified professionals to manage crop protection methods that are safe within a sustainable agriculture framework, both in developed countries and in developing countries.

This master's degree programme is attractive and innovative and will allow students to develop the ability to see plant health in a broad context, with a focus on sustainability, taking into account all the relevant agronomic factors: plant variety, nutrition, soil tillage, crop rotation, etc.

Students will gain skills for, and an advanced knowledge of, mycology, virology, entomology, nematology and weed control science, to efficiently analyse or diagnose the biotic and/or abiotic restrictions on productivity in sustainable farming systems.
