Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to give base information about wild and egzotic fruits (hawthorn, mountain ash, mulberry, cornelian cherry, seabuckthorn, cherry laurel, strawberry tree, Russian olive, elderberry) to students. For this reason the origin of species, differences from the other fruit species, distribution of species over the world, world production, the used cultivars, the ecological needs of species (climate and soil), propagation techniques, pollination and fertilization biology, the properties that important in breeding studies, orchard design and management, protected cultivation are given.

Learning Outcomes

1	Obtained knowladge about wild and egzotic fruits can be transferred to the farmers.
2	The differences of wild and egzotic from the other fruit species and differences in cultivation is the one of the main thema of this course. For this reason the modern cultivation techniques will be priority in this course. Obtained knowladge about berries can be transferred to the farmers
3	Students can be pass their knowladge to farmers on training systems, protected cultivation, nursery material production.
4	Farmers can be informed more knowladge on how they grow more productive and quality wild and egzotic fruits.
5	The students can understand the importance of ecology of wild and exotic fruits
