Course Goal / Objective
To provide an understanding of physiological responses of field crops to abiotic factors present in their environment, including stress conditions
Course Content
An introduction to the basic physiological processes (e.g., photosynthesis, respiration, nutrient utilization, partitioning and senescence) and their responses to the environment (including a-biotic stresses) are studied in relation to the growth, development and production of major field crops
Course Precondition
No need
