In order to control and optimize the management of crops with regard to yield and quality and to minimize the effects on adjacent ecosystems, in-depth knowledge of plant physiological processes is of central importance, which students are taught in this module.

1. Physiological processes controlling the growth and development of plants.

2. Interaction of location, water regime, photosynthesis, dissimilation/respiration, phytohormones on yield and quality development of crops.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Project Report, written or
• Homework / Assignment or
• Written examination or
• oral exam

Basic knowledge of plant physiology or plant production from relevant Bachelor's degree programs.

Students who have successfully studied this module will be able to describe, categorize and interpret plant physiological processes that are a prerequisite for single-plant management.

Students have detailed and critical knowledge in the fields of plant physiological processes that reflects the latest state of knowledge/research.

Students deal with complex plant physiological issues, recognize problems and develop optimization strategies in situations where the data relevant to decision-making is incomplete or inconsistent.

Students are able to evaluate research methods for defined questions in the context of plant physiological processes. They derive well-founded statements based on scientific data, which they can transfer into practice. They develop solutions in accordance with the state of the art in science and are able to work on application-oriented questions based on their knowledge of important plant physiological processes.

Students who have successfully completed this module apply innovative research methods to evaluate research topics in the context of plant physiological processes.

Students are able to compile data from plant physiology experiments in the form of a presentation and present it to a specialist audience. They are able to justify relevant solutions to problems in discourse with experts. They communicate and cooperate with specialists and non-specialists in order to solve problems responsibly.

Students can adequately judge their individual qualification profile with regard to their competencies in the context of plant physiological processes. They have developed a professional self-image and reflect critically on their professional actions in relation to social expectations and consequences.
