Plant protection is a first-class discipline of agriculture and a traditional dominant specialty in the field of life science. Based on botany, zoology, microbiology, agroecology and information science, it studies the occurrence and development law of pests and puts forward comprehensive management techniques. There are three two disciplines: plant pathology, agricultural insects and pest control pesticides.
