Learning outcomes: Knowledge issues theory to spray liquid basis and technique plant protection. The classification of machinery and equipment, construction and operation of the basic working units taking into account their structural differences and actions. Conditions of the proper use of chemical plant protection methods and methodology research apparatus for use of pesticides. The basic premise of the course is mastering by the students of the subject at a level which ambiguously interpreted to obtain permission to pursue activities in the field of plant protection, for example, performing technical research and diagnostics equipment and perform various treatments from the scope of application of the plant protection products.The skills to use basic principles apply spray to protect the plants, use ground spraying theory to evaluate the quality of work elements and working apparatus plant protection. Mastering the skills of practical use of technical-technological machinery and equipment used in modern agriculture in terms of the use of pesticides. Mastering the skills of practical use of the basic diagnostic equipment to assess and implement labour characteristics of equipment for plant protection. Acquisition of skills to carry out procedures tests technical and operational apparatus to protect plants. Skills testing apparatus and equipment to assess the quality of the performed treatments.

Competences: Knowledge of the subject allows basic mastering ambiguously interpreted the message to apply for obtaining permission for use of plant protection products, test equipment for the use of plant protection products and advisory activities in that regard. The ability to recognize and identify the risks arising from the use of pesticides in food production resulting in activities to reduce environmental contamination, reduce the content of pesticides in foods and to enhance the safety of users of equipment for the use of plant protection products.
