Course content |
Primary production as an essential factor of the yield. Productive ecology. Photosynthesis and breathing. Root system and absorption capacity of crops. Outflow and inflow of assimilates and sink capacity of crop organs. Ontogenesis of the assimilative system. LAI and NAR ratio. Water system and water balance compared with production and yield of crop stands. Biological yield, forming and distribution of dry matter, economic yield. Structure of the yield. Forming of the yield of field crop (cereals, legumes, oil crops, root crops, fodder plants). Relation between yield forming and production quality.

Learning outcomes |
Subject aims to introduce the physiological base of the biological and economic yield of the main field crop.
Students are able to orientate in the most important physiological processes that influence of yield, they know the formation of individual yield elements and they have an overview of the achieved yields of main crops. |
Prerequisites |
Basic knowledge of botany and plant biology.
|
