Abstract

The objective of this work was to present the experiences of a Science, Technology and Innovation Entity (ECTI) of the Ministry of Higher Education (MES) in the training of highly qualified specialists in Plant Health. Today's agriculture requires a sustainable increase in yields to be guaranteed at a lower economic, environmental and social cost. For this, it is essential to master the biological complexities of the agents that affect the different agroecosystems, a basis on which pest management tactics must be based so that the most appropriate ones are applied taking into account the ability to manipulate their intrinsic characteristics, as well as the environment in which they develop. Training of highly qualified specialists is needed, which is a priority objective of the National System of Scientific Degrees (SNGC). Training of Dr. C. is developed within the framework of the Doctoral Program in Plant Health, which began in January 2019 with the purpose of training Doctors in Agricultural Sciences with an updated vision of the national and international challenges, conditioned by climate change, the protection of the human health, the environment, and food safety, with the novel “One Health” approach. This program provides for the strengthening of the theoretical-practical relationship so that the profile of the graduate is shaped for the development of skills that link the theoretical knowledge acquired and its application in productive practice. Details of the operation of the current Program in Plant Health are provided.
