- Brief description
The growth and yield of crops and the quality of the products are decisively influenced by the nutrient supply in the root zone. Knowledge of these relationships is therefore essential for successful crop production. In addition to fundamental aspects of plant nutrition, the module also considers the biochemical and physiological functions of minerals in plant metabolism and provides an insight into the scientific working methods of the field. Furthermore, a basic understanding of the nutrient supply of plants with regard to culture-, site- and environmentally relevant requirements is created.
