Adhering to the motto of "Cultivate Morality, Be Erudite, Dedicative and Innovative", the College has formed disciplines and personnel training directions with regional characteristics through multidisciplinary intersection and integration, led by discipline of biodiversity control of pests and diseases. It has carried out scientific research on three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity and habitat diversity, fulfilled the research and promotion of green ecological prevention and control of rice pests and diseases, green sustainable development of agriculture and high-quality development of Chinese herbal medicine under the forest, created the largest winter potato and high-quality grape production area in China, become an important R&D center and talent training base for sustainable control of agricultural biodiversity and pests in China, and cultivated a group of applied talents of agrobiodiversity with both moral and talent and rooted in the agricultural field. The story and case of "writing thesis on the earth, cultivating applied talents and helping to fight poverty" have been reported in "Seeking truth", "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily" and "Focus Interview" for many times, which has caused strong repercussions in the whole society. The scientific research results have been promoted and applied to tens of millions mu of farmland, making due contribution to national and local economic development and the "One Belt, One Road" initiative.

Basic Information of Degree Authorization Points

The Department of Plant Protection of Yunnan Agricultural University was founded in 1938 by the Plant Protection Teaching and Research Group of the Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Yunnan University. After more than 80 years of construction and development, the Department of Plant Protection has become a national specialty, a key specialty in Yunnan Province and a brand specialty in Yunnan Province, and was awarded B in the fourth round of discipline evaluation nationwide, and was constructed as an A-class peak discipline in Yunnan Province in 2016. In 2003, the department was granted the right to confer doctoral degree in plant pathology, and in 2005, it was granted the right to confer doctoral degree in plant protection, and in 2007, it was approved to set up a first-class postdoctoral station. With the spirit of "cultivating virtue and learning, dedication and innovation", and based on the advantages of China's biodiversity resources and the location of southwest China, the department has become an important talent training base and an important training center for the sustainable control of agricultural biodiversity and pests in China through the interdisciplinary intersection and integration, with biodiversity control of pests and diseases as the leader, leading to the formation of disciplines and talent training directions with regional characteristics. It has become an important talent training base and R&D center for sustainable control of agricultural biodiversity and pests in China, and at the same time radiates to South and Southeast Asia to train talents for the development of national "One Belt and One Road" strategy.
