Organic Fruit and Viticulture I

Knowledge of Biology contents is recommended.

In order to achieve the objectives of the curricular unit and the competencies provided to the students, the 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 the orchards and vineyards where the student accompanies the different cultures and where he performs the main cultural practices used in fruticulture and viticulture in the spring-summer season.

1. To know the importance of fruticulture and viticulture in organic production mode at national and global levels;

2. Identify different fruit trees and grape varieties;

3. Relate plant structures and their functions with growth and development;

4. To know the different cultural practices carried out in the spring-summer season, in vineyards and orchards in biological mode, which affect the production and quality of harvesting and harvest.
