As part of the scientific activities of the Department of Plant Protection at the University of Kerbala – College of Agriculture, a practical session for the Plant Diseases (Practical) course was conducted for third-year students under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Maryam Hussein.

The session included training students on diagnosing disease symptoms in plants infected with fungi, performing isolation on culture media, as well as conducting microscopic examination of fungal structures and making preliminary identifications. This activity comes within the department’s efforts to strengthen the practical aspect of education and to link theoretical concepts with hands-on laboratory application.
