Objectives of the Course

The purposes of this course are to provide the students carrying out the projects of producing temperate climate fruit species by means of recognizing the production methods, biology of reproduction, ecological demands, morphologic and physiological characteristics of nuts (hazelnut, walnut, pecan, pistachio, almond, chesnut, stone pine) both of which are involved in mild climate fruit species; to create the new species producing methodes by breeding and researches; to provide to establish more productive facilities in which are used new techniques; to determine what kind of inputs could be related with these fruit species and also to apply the methodes of the benefitial production.

Course Content

Nut fruits morphological, biological characteristics and cultivation techniques are studied.
