This laboratory is responsible both teaching and research. Many courses are offered
such as seed pathology, postharvest disease, plant disease epidemiology, storage fungi
and mycotoxins, and physiology of fungi. Research activities are emphasized on
posthavest diseases of tropical fruits including mango, durian, mangosteen, rambutan on
the etiology, epidemiology, and control, apart from postharvest disease, this laboratory
also conducts research on seed pathology of many economic crops including rice,
soybean, zinnia on an aspect of detection, transmission, and control.
Our group is including:
Assoc.Prof. Dr. Somsiri Sangchote
Assist. Prof. Dr. Netnapis Khewkum
Dr. Veeranee Tongsri
with eleven M.Sc. and five Ph.D.
