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.
