Studiengang: Master IAW
Modul: Agronomy and World Crops I
Wahlpflichtmodul Kennziffer: MSc IAWWPM C 3
Ziele
Students know the relevant components of the Production Potential' at
(sub)tropical sites, its hazards and the agronomic measures for a
sustainable management; they are able to judge the essentials of
permanent crops and have sound knowledge of the important
worldwide-grown annual crops.
On the basis of their biological understanding, students are able to
analyse agronomic problems at different sites and to assess innovative
ideas and measures.
Inhalte
(A) Production potential: traits of soil fertility, causes, effects
and prevention of water and wind erosion, sustainability (land
clearing, humuscontent, weed control, tillage).
(B) Permanent Crops (Oil palms): the system, plant development and
ecophysiology, the crop management.
(C) Annual Crops (Cereals, grain legumes, tuber crops and oil crops),
