Prerequisites:
|
Prerequisite for the course is a bsic knowledge of biology, inorganic and biological chemistry |
Target skills and knowledge:
|
To gain a knowledge on the main factors affecting crop production and the relationships between agronomic practices and environmental pollution, and on the main transformation processes for feed products. |
Assessment criteria:
|
The student will be evaluated considering the acquired knowledge and the ability of organize the knowledge for evaluating the nutritional traits of foods and feeds |
Course unit contents:
|
Basis of botany: morphology and anatomy of the plant, main physiological processes and water movement in the plant, fruit types and characteristics. (1 ECTS)
Crop-environment relationships: soil types, climate and crop growth, nutrient availability and basis of fertilization techniques, main agricultural practices (soli tillage, irrigation, pest control). (1 ECTS)
Classification of cropping systems: agricultural techniques and crop quality, conventional, organic and sustainable agriculture, transgenic crops. (1 ECTS)
Classification of herbaceous crops: quality traits, comparisons between utilization types, crop growth cycles. Agronomic techniques related to cereal and oil crops production, main effects on yield quality. (1 ECTS)
Forage crops: main types, fundaments of cultivation techniques and quality parameters; main conservation techniques; physical and chemical treatments for enhancing feed utilization; main strategies for reducing contaminations in the field and in post-harvest. (1 ECTS)
Qualitative traits of horticultural and fruit products, agrotechnical and environmental factors affecting their quality and the main physiological disorders, outlines of grape and wine production. (1 ECTS) |
