Guia

1. At SGA, find out the members of your group. The group agrees on an introductory topic related to your major. For example, if your major is in Agronomy, you might want to choose the topic “Plant Disease and Insects”. Download a book in English with the title “Introduction to…”, “Fundamentals of…”, or “Essentials of…”, so you can use authentic technical terms used in your field of study. Then you can research on the web more about your selected topic. INSTRUCTIONS

2. INSTRUCTIONS Your project must include the following: A cover slide . See example below. A content slide . Introduction and four subtopics. The body . Write 10 slides. Include pictures, graphs, and/or tables. They must have adequate proportions (without image distortions).

3. INSTRUCTIONS Upload your project as a PDF file. Only one student will upload the PDF file at SGA. There will be one grade for all members of the group. Those students who do not contribute to the project will get a zero. All the members of the group will make the presentation of their project on week number 8.

4. IMPORTANT! The project IS NOT ABOUT a scientific paper. You will get a zero if you present a scientific paper.

5. You will lose 0.05 points for every of the following issues: Not following any of the instructions. Mistakes on grammar, vocabulary, wrong technical words (remember, use the technical words from books originally written in English), use of Spanish words or phrases, misspelled words, or inappropriate use of capital letters or punctuation, wrong pronunciation. Poor layout design. None or very few pictures, graphs or tables. Low resolution or disproportionate/distorted images. Translations from Spanish to English. You will get a zero if you do not contribute to the project. RUBRICS

10. Introduction Diseases and insects damage plants and have a detrimental impact on the profitability of crop production. Macro- and microorganisms—and sometimes specialized parasites—can cause plant diseases. Insects damage plants by consuming them and can also be vectors of plant diseases. By identifying the plant disease or insect pest, appropriate cost-effective and environmentally friendly management strategies can be implemented.

11. Plant diseases A plant disease is broadly defined as a progressive deviation from a plant’s normal development, appearance, or function. The progressive nature of plant disease symptoms differentiates diseases from other types of injury. Plant diseases occur worldwide in many important crops and have significant, negative impacts on global food production and agricultural economies.

12. Plant diseases For a plant disease to occur, three factors must be present: A susceptible host A pathogen (disease-causing agent), A favorable environment for infection.

13. Plant diseases Plant diseases can also be caused by abiotic environmental factors such as air pollution, nutrient imbalances, water excesses or deprivation, extreme temperatures, soil acidity or alkalinity, and herbicides. To identify the pathogen and develop a method for disease management, it is important to determine the type of disease, biotic or abiotic, that is present.
