Goals The purpose of the course , knowing a variety of biological concepts and terminology, understanding the process that allows you to establish a relationship between the relevant events with analysis and synthesis skills, flexible thinking , and all of them are training individuals to express in agricultural ecology perception..
Course Content Plant physiology of various concepts and terms such as ecology , evaporation, etc introduced the subject described in the nutrition and population context , plant and referring the example of the emergence of animal cultural forms , also described in detail according to the various loop formation logic, various affecting in ecologically of plants. And these are explained by considering the positive and negative aspects.
Learning Outcomes 1) He/she will be a capable and qualified on (agricultural) ecology.
2) learns enviromental conditions for plant production
3) Cooperates with other disciplines involved in plant and animal production when needed.
4) Constantly updating the knowledge that the country has possession of natural resource potential and production structure.
5) Know the various sources and factors that effect plant production and their interactions with each other; by analyzing the problems they encounter with their professional knowledge and skill.
6) Follow up strategies and practices on sustainable use of natural resources to create new recommendations
