About

---

The department of plant protection was founded in 1997. Our department is interested in developing and applying agricultural sciences with respect to pest control. In view of the natural obstacles faced by the agricultural sector under the circumstances in Iraq, the department faces big challenges in providing solutions to all problems facing the agricultural sector. As a result, the department strives to improve the efficiency and sustainability of production by graduating highly qualified staff and applying scientific research. The plant protection department awards a bachelor’s and master’s degree in agricultural sciences (plant protection) and a doctorate in relevant specializations such as (plant diseases, insects, pesticides, fungi, etc.).
