| Field Crop Production | السنة الثالثة | Introductory course on modern crop production practices. This course does not provide specific details for individual crops; the aim is to provide advanced, but generic, understanding of the science underpinning crop production. It will also provide an appreciation of the diversity of crop production practices and techniques that are used around the world in specific production situations. <br>Lectures will be supported by on-site monitoring of field crops and by visiting commercial production to illustrate application, context, and business practice. Field crops production lab. is an integral part of the course that will provide students with better understanding of crops morphological and certain physiological features that affect their growth and development. |
| Practical Agronomy | السنة الرابعة | The practical course in agronomy aims to give the students the opportunity to handle the field crops on the field starting with land preparation and ending with harvesting (when possible).
