    The Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, invites applications from faculty

    members, and researchers of Indian universities / research institutions for a 3-week training

    programme on Understanding of mechanism of Host-Pathogen Bio-agent Interaction and

    Sustainable bio-management strategy for threatening crop diseases sponsored by the IndianCouncil of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, scheduled from 3 October to 23 October, 2013.

    Objective

    The major objective of the training programme is to train young faculty and scientists on

    biological control of major threatening crop diseases and to understand the mechanism of

    Host-Pathogen Bio-agent Interaction. The training programme will focus on hands - on training

    in research methods in the laboratory in addition to lectures by experts on current trends so as

    to enable the participants to apply the same in their research programmes.

    Eligibility

    I) M.Sc/Ph.D in Plant Pathology and working in the rank of Assistant Professor and equivalent

    in Plant Pathology under Agricultural University /ICAR Institute

    ii) Working not below the rank of Assistant Professor and equivalent in the concerned subject

    under Agricultural University /I.C.A.R. Institute

    How to apply

    The participants application will be received online (ICAR mandate) using CBP portal through

    or under the link Capacity Building Progamme at . Afterfilling the online applications, take a printout of the application and get it approved by the

    competent authority of the organization and upload the scanned copy of application through

    CBP portal on or before 15.08.2013. Selection of participants will be from online applications

    and the selected participants list will be uploaded/displayed on the portal.

    However, he/she may send an advance copy (via email) directly to the Course Director. The

    selected candidates will be informed individually also. The participants are requested to keep

    in contact with the Course Director regarding their selection status.

    Total No. of participants: 25 (Twenty five only)

    TA/DA & Accommodation

    The participants will be provided, to and fro fare restricted to AC-II-Tier train fare or any

    state road transport services as per the ICAR guidelines. Participants should produce a

    certificate that they have not been given T A/DA by their host institute (Head of the

    Department/Institute) and the training period should be considered 'On Duty' by the

    participant's parent institution. Boarding and lodging for the participants will be provided at

    the ICAR guest houses and the charges will be met by the training programme.

    About the training programme

    Biological control involves the use of beneficial organisms, their genes, and/or products, such

    as metabolites, that reduce the negative effects of plant pathogens and promote positiveresponses by the plant. Disease suppression, as mediated by biocontrol agents, is the

    consequence of the interactions between the plant, pathogens, and the microbial community.

    The success of biocontrol agents is dependent upon the complex interactions that these

    beneficial microbes establish with pathogens and plants in the ecosystem. A better

    understanding of these processes and of the cross-talk occurring among the participants will

    not only result in the application of safer and less expensive methods to protect plants and

    increase crop yield, but also will extend our knowledge of how a disease process develops.

    The success of bio-management technology is largely depending on delivery system of bio-

    agents. Efficient bio-formulations and their proper applications are pre-requisite for the cost

    effective management of plant diseases. Considering these points, the present trainingprogramme has been proposed.
