Learning outcomes
|
At the course, students will be introduced to the basics of pedology with a special focus on the technological properties of the soil, which significantly affect its processing.
Students will acquire theoretical knowledge about agricultural soils' physical and chemical properties. In the practical part, they will master the determination of basic soil characteristics. Obtained knowledge and experience will help students better understand the relationship between the soil environment and the consequences of agrotechnical interventions. Graduates will be able to choose the appropriate mechanization used for processing agricultural land correctly.
