Course content
The subject introduces students to the basic production and other functions of agricultural systems and their historical development. Students are presented with sowing procedures and systematic crop sequences in general terms. Furthermore, they will be introduced to applied systems of soil processing, vegetation landscaping, plant species preservation, nutrition and fertilisation of crops. Attention will be drawn to the systems of generative material production. Included will be the cultivation systems of the most technologically and economically significant crops with quality requirements and regulation options in terms of production levels.
