Base Knowledge
Knowledge of Biology contents is recommended.
Teaching Methodologies
To achieve the objectives of the curricular unit and the skills provided to students, the teaching-learning process is based on: 1. In theoretical-practical classes in which the teacher transmits theoretical concepts, followed by practical application by the student; 2. In classes held in orchards and vineyards where the student follows the different cultures and where he performs the main cultural practices used in Fruit Growing and Viticulture in the Spring-Summer season.
Learning Results
- Recognize the importance of fruit and viticulture at national, European and world level.
- Know the specific effects of environmental factors on the vegetative development of species under study.
- Know and practice the different spring-summer cultural operations.
- Know and understand the technological implications in the evolutionary process of maturation, in the yield and quality.
