The program offers an outstanding array of courses, excellent research facilities and strong interdisciplinary collaborations. The Department of Plant Pathology has strong research, teaching and extension outreach programs that cover basic and applied aspects of plant pathology, plant-microbe interactions and plant health management.
We are the sole academic unit dedicated to plant health and plant-microbe interactions in Ohio's higher education system.
There are 14 faculty plus adjunct and courtesy faculty, staff and students located on both the Columbus campus and at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in Wooster (90 miles, or 145 km northeast of Columbus).
