Advanced course for students in the vegetable study category. The
main items in this course are: Seed Germination and Quality, Physiological Aspects,
Seed Quality, Growth in containers, Factors regulating growth in containers,
Transplant age, Control of transplant size, Storage and transport of
transplants, Field conditions, Flowering: The induction of Flowering, The
timing of flowering and climatic adaption, The Eco geographic of photothermal,
Rates of progress towards flowering response, Temperature response, Photoperiod
response, Verbalization in annual and biennial crops, Environmental influences
on development, growth and yield, The environment – man- plant system, plant
reaction to environmental factors, Plant development, plant growth, growth
function and growth rates, Growth models, Control of growth and development, physiological
studies of most important vegetable crops, includes: Tomato, Pepper, Potato,
Cucurbits cucumber, Melon, pumpkin, Lettuce, Onion, Garlic, Beet, and carrot turnip
Successfully completing this
course, the student will be able to:
1. Explain the functional differences
among plants affected by the structural structure
2. Identify differences among
plants as a result of differences in interaction with environmental factors
3. Distinguish between the effect
of environmental conditions in general on the growth and development of
vegetable crops
4. Distinguish between the effect
of agricultural treatments on plant physiology and characteristics
5. Shows how to improve the
productivity of vegetable crops using environmental and agricultural treatments
