The Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology (PPM) at NTU is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of plant pathology and microbiology. Our research and teaching encompass the study of microorganisms (fungi, nematodes, bacteria, viruses, and phytoplasmas) that cause plant diseases and abiotic factors (pollution, malnutrition) affecting plant health. We focus on understanding pathogen mechanisms, host interactions, and control techniques.

Our department excels in disease diagnosis, healthy seedling production, agricultural quarantine, plant health management, and environmental pollution disease research. We develop molecular detection systems, diagnostic probes, and standardized protocols. Additionally, we engage in genetic engineering, and disease-resistant breeding, integrating traditional and biotechnological approaches.

We aim to contribute to both basic and applied research, educating future experts, and fostering industry-university collaboration to enhance agricultural practices and plant health.
