Course Goal / Objective
The aim is to learn why soil, plant, and fertilizer analyses are performed, how these analyses are applied, the methods used for elemental analysis, how to evaluate soil analysis values by relating them to leaf analysis values of plants grown in that soil, and to understand the importance of fertilizer as a fundamental input for obtaining high-quality and abundant yields, and based on this, to teach fertilizer analysis and calculation.
Course Content
This study examines the importance of soil, plant, and fertilizer analyses as research and observation tools in managing efforts to obtain high-quality and abundant products, and includes how these analyses are performed, as well as the calculation, interpretation, and evaluation of soil, plant, and fertilizer analysis results.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites.
