Aims
The aim of this module is for individuals to develop an understanding of the crop science developments, principles and application in crop science. Students are required to understand principles in agro-ecology, cultivation science, genetics, breeding science, and crop cultivation. Students will also develop an understanding of theoretical knowledge and application which will support the ability of individuals to devise and deliver appropriate practical sessions, and to apply this technology to scientific research.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Explain the basic concepts, theory, methods and technology, relevant to crop science.
2.
Investigate the technical measures of crop production and the implementation protocol of cultivar improvement.
3.
Create the optimised conditions which meet the high yield, good quality and high efficiency of crop production based on the internal and external causes of crop variety.
4.
Describe the progress in the theory of crop production and its utilisation.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module provides an understanding of crop generality including an overview of crop science, classification of crops, crop origin and distribution, breeding of crop varieties and fine breed propagation, crop growth and development, crop yield formation, crops and ecological environment, crop production technology and planting system.
Additional Information:This module allows students to develop an understanding of the crop science developments, principles and application in crop science. Students will also develop basic practical skills in crop generality.
