OPEN FIELD VEGETABLE PRODUCTION

Course Description

The aim of the course is to introduce students to a wide range of warm and cool season vegetable crops such as tomato, cucumber, pepper and broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, coriander, celery, lettuce, onion, garlic, pea, radish, spinach and their production methods. The course will allow students to apply basic vegetable growing principles to optimize plant responses to environmental and nutritional conditions. In this scope, Solanacae, Cucurbitaceae, Cruciferae, Leguminosae, Alliaceae, Compositae, Chenopodiaceae, Umbelliflorae, Portulacae will be contained. As outcomes of this course, students will be learned to explain the origins, systematics, biological, agronomic, ecological and physiyological characteristics of vegetable species, gain the growing ability of different vegetable species, ability to establish different vegetable species plantation, maintaining the activities, solve the problems.
