In this module, you will learn the basics for the Plant Production module (1st semester). A general understanding of plants and their characteristics will form the foundation. Soil is the most important resource in agriculture, as plants absorb the water and nutrients they need for growth through the soil. However, there are other factors that influence plant growth, which you will learn about in more detail in Chapter 3. The final chapter then serves as a transition to practical agriculture. The focus there is on various crops around the world.
How to work trough the chapters:
