RESEARCH TECHNIQUES IN AGRICULTURE

Course Description

This course brings computing solution to traditional practices and modern cocerns, sowing seeds and planting seedlings for a sustainable, constant food supply. The food supply shortage has been main cocern and the biggest problem in under-developed countries. Modelling flood patterns and predicting potential climates and microclimates through distincly modern topics such as pesticide leaching model and the impact of agricultural policy. All of these topics in this particular course deal with utilization of cutting-edge computational techniques of interest to both academics and practitional in agriculture, as well as computitaonal modelling researches such as split-plot and split-blog techniques, creating a referance practical significance.
