¿Por qué los ingleses beben té? ¿Por qué en el siglo XVIII los irlandeses emigran de forma masiva? ¿Por qué las vides europeas están injertadas sobre pies americanos? La parte de la ciencia que estudia la salud vegetal se denomina fitopatología, y puede responder a preguntas como las anteriores.
En este curso aprenderás cómo funciona el complejo y efectivo sistema inmune de los vegetales y cómo sus atacantes son capaces de evadirlo para conseguir infectarlos. A través de los distintos módulos verás los casos fitopatológicos que tuvieron más relevancia histórica y aprenderás a identificar qué daños provocan diferentes tipos de patógenos y plagas en la planta. ¿Para qué sirve este curso? Saber diagnosticar correctamente y a tiempo una determinada sintomatología puede salvar una cosecha o las plantas ornamentales de casa o del jardín; este curso ofrece conocimientos teóricos y prácticos de fitopatología para la diagnosis. El curso podrá seguirlo cualquier persona con inquietudes sobre el mundo vegetal, ya que la información que se facilita es asequible y amena a la vez que rigurosa, y está impartida por profesores de reconocido prestigio en la materia.
Según la ONU la población mundial alcanzará los 9.8 billones en 2050 y esto lleva a la urgente necesidad de incrementar la comida producida, especialmente de vegetales que son más del 80% de la dieta humana (FAO). Este incremento pasa por conseguir un control eficiente de las enfermedades y plagas, responsables del 20‐40% de las pérdidas registradas.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
