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.
