Course Goal / Objective
Learns the basic nutrient element concept for human and plant, the factors affecting the nutritional element level, the role of nutrients in human health and the problems they cause in human health, the solutions of these problems and the agricultural strategies in the elimination of nutritional element problems in human health.
Course Content
Sources of plant nutrients, forms of plant nutrients found in the soil, transport of plant nutrients to the root zone and mechanisms of plant ingestion, identification of plant nutrient mobility, distribution and deficiency indications. The effect of plant nutrients on the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant. Explanation of the roles of plant nutrients in plant yield, quality and resistance to diseases. Measures to be taken against mineral nutrition disorders and adaptation mechanisms that plants have developed against these mineral nutrition disorders
