Agro-industrial Crops in Autumn / Winter

General agriculture and agrometeorology

Agrocultural techniques

Land Management and Surveying

Plant Physiology and Nutrition

The teaching methodologies used aim to provide an effective transmission of knowledge and dialogue with students that favors and consolidates the process of teaching learning.

In the theoretical-practical classes the explanation of the principles necessary to the development of the programmatic contents and the acquisition of the defined competences is made. Students are asked to participate in adapting the knowledge acquired to solve specific situations.

The study of concrete cases worked by the students are presented and discussed in the classroom with the active and critical participation of the teacher and the students.

1. Assess the importance of autumn-winter agro-industrial arable crops in the region, the country and the world;

2. Know the main agro-industrial arable crops grown in autumn-winter;

3. Evaluate particular and current situations of agro-industrial arable crops, in the autumn-winter season;

4. Monitor agro-industrial arable crops in autumn-winter from an ecological perspective.

1. Main areas and regions of production of agro-industrial arable crops in autumn-winter, or likely to be used as such, at national and international level;

2. Cultivated areas, productions and yields obtained;

3. Difficulties, at national and international level, in the field of autumn-winter agro-industrial arable crops;

4. Identification of crops in different stages of the vegetative cycle;
