The Irrigation Science course describes the importance and the role of water in the plant, also explains the movement of water in the soil, and describes the movement of water in the plant towards the atmosphere. During the study of this course, students learn to calculate the water requirements of crops, as well as the depth of irrigation water, irrigation time and irrigation frequency.
