Opis predmeta
The aim of this course is to give students knowledge about economic importance of the insects as well as morphological, anatomical and biological features of the insects. Students will learn necessary teroethical knowledge about insects which are basics to understand applied entomology that from practical point studies harmful or beneficial pests.
