Syllabus

The syllabus for Entomology and Plant Pathology typically focuses on the study of insects and plant diseases, respectively. Below is a general outline for both subjects, based on common academic and competitive exam syllabi.

Entomology Syllabus

  1. Introduction to Entomology
    • Definition, scope, and importance of entomology in agriculture.
    • Classification and characteristics of insects.
    • Evolution and adaptations of insects.
  2. Insect Morphology and Anatomy
    • External and internal anatomy of insects.
    • Digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems.
    • Sensory organs and nervous system.
  3. Insect Physiology
    • Growth, development, and metamorphosis (Ametabolous, Hemimetabolous, and Holometabolous).
    • Hormones in insects.
    • Reproductive systems and behaviors.
  4. Insect Ecology
    • Role of insects in ecosystems: pollinators, decomposers, etc.
    • Insect population dynamics.
    • Insect-plant interactions: herbivores, pollinators, etc.
  5. Insect Classification
    • Orders and families of agricultural importance (e.g., Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera).
    • Key features for identification.
  6. Economic Entomology
    • Insects as pests in agriculture (e.g., cotton bollworm, stem borers).
    • Insects as beneficial agents (e.g., pollinators, biocontrol agents).
    • Methods of pest control: chemical, biological, cultural, and mechanical.
  7. Insecticides and Pest Management
    • Types of insecticides (biological, chemical).
    • Integrated pest management (IPM).
    • Resistance management and environmental concerns.
  8. Insect Pathology
    • Diseases of insects.
    • Entomopathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses).
    • Biological control using pathogens.

Plant Pathology Syllabus

  1. Introduction to Plant Pathology
    • Definition, scope, and importance of plant pathology.
    • History and development of plant pathology.
    • Classification of plant diseases (biotic vs abiotic).
  2. Plant Disease Epidemiology
    • Factors affecting the development of plant diseases (host, pathogen, environment).
    • Disease triangle: Host, Pathogen, and Environment.
    • Principles of plant disease management.
  3. Plant Pathogen Classification
    • Fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and other plant pathogens.
    • Structure, reproduction, and life cycle of important pathogens.
    • Classification of plant diseases based on the pathogen (fungal diseases, bacterial diseases, viral diseases, etc.).
  4. Plant Disease Diagnosis
    • Symptoms and signs of plant diseases.
    • Techniques for disease diagnosis (field observation, laboratory techniques).
    • Isolation and identification of pathogens.
  5. Plant Disease Resistance
    • Mechanisms of plant resistance (pre-existing, induced).
    • Genetic resistance in plants.
    • Breeding for disease resistance.
  6. Disease Management Strategies
    • Chemical control (fungicides, bactericides).
    • Biological control (using biocontrol agents).
    • Cultural practices (crop rotation, sanitation).
    • Integrated disease management (IDM).
  7. Important Plant Diseases
    • Fungal Diseases: Powdery mildew, rust, blight, etc.
    • Bacterial Diseases: Bacterial wilt, canker, soft rot.
    • Viral Diseases: Mosaic, yellowing, stunting.
    • Nematode Diseases: Root-knot nematodes, cyst nematodes.
  8. Plant Pathology in Crop Protection
    • Diseases affecting major crops (cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits).
    • Role of plant pathology in sustainable agriculture.
    • Disease forecasting and management techniques.
