Dear Researchers, Having established in 1980 and begun educational and academic activities in 1981, the Faculty of Agriculture consists of Horticulture, Field Crops, Food Engineering, Animal Science, Plant Protection, Biosystems Engineering, Agricultural Economics, Soil Science and Plant Nutrition and Landscape Architecture departments. Our departments carry out research and development activities primarily at the regional level but also at the national and international level. The faculty is a well-established academic institution with 37 professors, 37 associate professors, 10 assistant professors, 4 lecturers, 3 specialists, 41 research assistants and 33 administrative staff reaching to a total of 165 academic and administrative staff as of 2013. In this catalogue, information about expertise areas of academic personnel with their contact information can be found. Our academicians took part in national and international projects including 2 European Union FP-7, 1 State Planning Organization, 16 TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), 38 Uludag University Scientific Research Projects Unit and 7 other projects. In addition, two academic staff served as consultant for BEBKA (Bursa Eskisehir Bilecik Development Agency), and one each for DOGAKA and TUBITAK-TEYDEB projects. A large number of academic staff are being consulted for reviewing and monitoring TUBITAK projects. The details of these projects are available in this catalogue. Our academic staff published 73 research papers in journals indexed in SCI (Science Citation Index), SCI-Expanded, SSCI (Social Science Citation Index) and other international indexes based on projects and graduate theses they conducted. Besides, 86 conference proceedings articles were presented in national and international congresses, symposia and /or workshops. Only in 2012, 30 graduate theses were completed and these thesis were submitted to the dissertation center of the Turkish Council of Higher Education (YOK) to render them accessible to other researchers worldwide. Our academicians wrote four international book chapters. Furthermore, 64 lecture notes, which are available in our faculty bookstore, were published in order to provide course material for our students. Within the framework of circulating capital activities and Uludag University Technology Development Zone (ULUTEK), testing, analysis and consultancy services are provided in our faculty. As can be seen in the catalogue, 145 different services have been continued to be offered. For example, the Department of Biosystems Engineering performed 75 agricultural machine tests requested by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock in 2012. Our academic staff actively participate in panels and workshops almost in all fields of agriculture to inform growers in accordance with the demands of various agencies, and public institutions. Such information meetings are also held at times in our faculty to share information and knowledge with growers and technical staff involved in agricultural and food sector. Our academicians appear at regional and national TV stations to share information with all of our stakeholders. Our faculty places great emphasis on collaborative work with private sector as well as public institutions and organizations and signed a cooperation protocol with MAY-AGRO Seed Company Ltd. in 2012 to carry out joint activities in education and research. In addition, we have an ongoing cooperation for educational training activities with SUTAS Dairy Company Ltd for many years. Our faculty is committed to increase the number of cooperation protocols based on the demands of the private sector. On the other hand, our faculty or their cooperating industry partner was awarded 3 patents owing to R & D projects between industry and university and 8 new patent applications have been filed. Best regards, Prof.Dr. İsmail Filya Dean OUR VISION To be a sustainable and environmentally friendly academic institution, successful at universal standards on education and research. OUR MISION To contribute to the production of science and technology by generating universal knowledge; to educate creative, entrepreneurial, dynamic, participatory individuals, having environmental awareness and mindful of institutional values and professional ethics, who are able to be successfully employed in academic institutions, public and private sector all over the world with their scientific formation and self-confidence.

INFRASTRUCTURE Prof. Dr. Necati Baykal Phytopathology Laboratory It is a scientific laboratory of Phytopathology subdivision. In this laboratory, plant diseases caused by fungi are being studied. More emphasis is given to the diagnosis of plant pathogenic fungi, and measures to be taken against them. It is the first inspection place where diseased plant samples from growers are examined, the macroscopic and microscopic plant pathogens are diagnosed, and samples materials are stored. In addition, laboratory studies on fungicides are being carried out. INFRASTRUCTURE Postharvest Technologies Laboratory Postharvest technologies laboratory is under Phtyopathology subdivision. This laboratory specialized on postharvest conservation technologies, alternative control methods for chemicals, accepted as safe chemicals, efficacy tests on biocontrol agents, toxicity tests and osone gas experiments. INFRASTRUCTURE Prof. Dr. Necati Baykal Acarology and Toxicology Laboratory This laboratory is a specialized laboratory of Entomology subdivision. Plant pests and predator mites are studied in this laboratory in addition to the measurements of insect and mite resistance to pesticides. This lab includes devices such as triocular microscope, spray tower, microapplicator, multiple micro-plate reader, vertical electrophoresis, gel imaging system, refrigerated centrifuge, incubator, precision scales and various analytical measurement equipment. Three research projects funded by FP-7 Marie Curie, TUBITAK and Uludag University Scientific Projects Section are conducted in this laboratory, and 4 graduate students participate in these activities. INFRASTRUCTURE Entomology Laboratory In this laboratory, insect pests, which cause damage to the cultivated plants, are inspected carefully. After identification, detailed biological or ecological studies are conducted in specialized laboratories. The identification of the insect species, the preparation for identification, rearing of insect cultures, and conservation of insect samples are performed here. There is an olfactometer device that can measure the response of beneficial and harmful insects to various synthetic plant odours in the laboratory. Cultured insects in the climate chambers are transferred to this in order to measure their response to synthetic plant odours. According to the results, chemical odours with a potential use in applied entomology are selected and evaluated under field trials. INFRASTRUCTURE Nematology Laboratory In Nematology Laboratory, the isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN), which are used to control harmful insects in agricultural crops, from the soil, their in vivo and in vitro production under laboratory conditions, reproduction experiments of EPN's, their tolerance to loss temperature and water, and the isolation of symbiont bacteria studies are carried out. In addition, plant parasitic nematode analyses are done in plant samples which are brought to the lab by the growers. INFRASTRUCTURE Student Laboratory The practical laboratory courses for undergraduate students are taught in this laboratory. This laboratory has binocular and stereo microscopes, insect samples, diseased plant parts, and general laboratory tools and equipment. INFRASTRUCTURE Cold Storage Cold storage rooms are used for post-harvest studies to store fruits and vegetables in cold weather. INFRASTRUCTURE Climate Chambers The climate chambers are mainly used for entomological studies. Moisture, temperature and light intensity can be adjusted in climate rooms so that biological studies can be done in a controlled environment. The department has 4 climate chambers that are being actively used. INFRASTRUCTURE Insect Museum The museum is composed of insect specimens that are mostly collected from Bursa province of northwestern Turkey. There are many different insect species belonging to many orders and families. Students have the opportunity to review insect museum at any time.
