Plant protection is a science major. According to the enrollment plan of 202 1 provinces, most colleges and universities enroll students in science (physics), so this major belongs to science.

Plant protection is also called plant medicine. In the Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialities for Granting Doctoral and Master's Degrees and Training Postgraduates, formulated and promulgated by the Discipline Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, plant protection belongs to one of the first-class disciplines of agronomy, which consists of four two disciplines, namely: plant pathology, agricultural pest control, agronomy and invasive biology (agronomy and science degrees can be awarded).

The major of plant protection cultivates advanced applied talents with basic knowledge and skills of plant protection science, who are engaged in the prediction and prevention of plant diseases and insect pests, weeds, birds and animals. Plant protection is a traditional specialty in the field of life science. Based on plant pathology, general entomology, botany, zoology, microbiology, agroecology, pedology, cultivation, weed science and informatics, it studies the occurrence and development law of pests and puts forward comprehensive management techniques.

Training objectives:

Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of agricultural biological science, agricultural ecological science, the biology of agricultural pests and weeds and their harm. They have been trained to identify and identify various pests and weeds, and have the basic ability to monitor and control plant pests and weeds.

Training requirements:

Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of agricultural biological science and agricultural ecological science, as well as the biology and harm of agricultural pests and rats. They have been trained in the identification and identification of various pests and have the basic ability of monitoring and controlling plant pests.
