Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge in the field of agricultural production focused on the cultivation of main field crops using classical and modern techniques of soil preparation and preparation for sowing and planting, crop rotation and basic methods in terms of weed species regulation. The basic agricultural technology should provide the students of the field "Land consolidation and real estate transfers" with sufficient knowledge necessary for designing, designing and carrying out simple and complex land consolidation.
The students gain an expertise knowledge in agromachinery and soil preparation.
