| Objectives of the Course |
| Crop rotation in agricultural production is one of the best cultural practices affecting the yield obtained from per unit area. One of the important factors of reaching success in crop production is application a planned rotation system. The aim of the course is • to learn the concepts and theories of rotation • to provide the basic knowledge about disadvantage of monoculture • to learn the difference amongs the traditional farming, modern agriculture, sustainable farming and organic farming • to teach suitable crop rotations according to climate and soil conditions. |
