Course content
|
Study of soil science, agronomical practises, herbology, plant nutrition and fertilization on chemical-biological and technological base. Soil, its origin, characteristics and analytics, components of soil, soil regime and their evaluation. The main tasks of agricultural practices in the management of the soil, classical and conservation technology of processing of soil, non- tillage, crop rotation and weed control. The share of agricultural practises and plant nutrition on forming of the crops yields. Principles of nutrient uptake, fertilization, fertilizers, including auxiliary agricultural chemicals. The subject matter is not detailed, but resume information of basic knowledge of the above mentioned disciplines, connected on the basis of a chemical-biological and technological explanation, with the account on soil, its forming, properties and analytic, soil compounds, soil regimes and their evaluation. Main roles of agrotechnology in land farming, classical and soil protective technologies of soil cultivation, crop rotation and weed regulation. Share of agrotechnology and plant nutrition to crop yield forming. Plant nutrition is aimed on nutrient uptake principles, fertilizing and fertilizers including helping agrochemicals.
