The retrieval results of literature database show that the development and application of virtual simulation technology of plant pathology in agricultural universities is relatively backward,and there are no relevant reports so far.The plant pathology is the cradle of training future plant doctors,which has strong practicality and application.However,the practical teaching is difficult to carry out because of its large occupation,high cost,contingency,danger,and limited by plant growth cycle and season,resulting in that students have difficulty to solve practical problems.Thus,this paper discusses the use of virtual simulation technology to carry out practical teaching reform,so as to break through the limitations of traditional experimental teaching,construct an experimental teaching system with the combination of virtual and real,and provide a new way for the training of excellent agricultural talents.
