| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||||||
| Competences obtain within basic science: The student should get a comprehensive view of the basic disciplines such as plant nutrition, pest management, irrigation etc. and be able to use the knowledge interdisciplinary to analyse, discuss and solve problems related to plant production and plant protection. The students should be able to analyse and present research papers. Competences obtained within applied science: The students should be able to analyse and handle complex and interdisciplinary problems in plant production and plant protection. They should be able to suggest solutions and make calculation of the consequences of various solution models and be able to analyse and plan an appropriate land use and plant production and solve problems related to various types of plant production systems. Competence obtained within Ethics and Values: Student should be aware of and discuss the ethical and environmental problems connected with plant production and plant protection. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||||
| The objectives are (1) to reach a level of knowledge and understanding where students can analyse options and potential problems, (2) plan an appropriate land use and plant production and (3) solve problems related to different types of production. The course provides an essential part of the training needed for students who wish to enter an advisory career in agricultural or horticultural extension services or in the administration of land use and environmental protection. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course deals with abiotic and biotic factors and interactions in relation to land use, resource utilization, crop production, quality of agricultural and horticultural products, environmental issues and production economy in various production systems (i.e., primary level: conventional and integrated production (IP) as well as organic production and secondary level: e.g., fruit, vegetable, greenhouse and arable production). Specific subjects include: land use and crop rotation; Soil tillage; Plant nutrition and fertilization; Water supply and irrigation; Determine plans at farm and crop level for plant protection against diseases, pest and weeds; Harvesting, preservation and storage; Resources and technology including precision agriculture; Evaluation of consequences of preventative and curative measures on the environment; Quality and characteristic of crop and varieties; Plant breeding and seed treatment; Key aspects of national and international legislation pertaining to plant production and protection. | |||||||||||||||||||
