PRINCIPLES OF FIELD CROP PRODUCTION

Course Description

The aim of this course is to introduce field crops and their importance for the human diet. Teaching some morphological and physiological behaviours of turf crops, and establishing a good turf stand. Field crops production (systems of field crop production, systematic, economy, adaptation). Agronomic characteristics and growing of cereals (wheat, barley, oat, rye, rice, maize, sorghum), grain legumes (common bean, fava bean, pea, lentil, chickpea, cowpea), tobacco, cotton, sunflower, peanut, sesame and rapeseed. Industrial plant production, sowing time, irrigation and fertilization are also studied. Handling of the field crops after harvesting are discussed beside main diseases and harmful insects of the crops.
