Objectives of the Course

The aim of the course is to classify Field Crops and to show the processes of the plants in these classes from planting to harvest. The life cycle of the plants grown in the region is shown to the students.

Course Content

Field crops grown in the region are determined and classified. A plant from each class will be grown and their growth and development periods will be demonstrated in practice. It is the determination and implementation of agricultural activities in the specified periods. Thus, it is aimed to increase the practical knowledge of the students.
