Course Contents |
The course goals are to teach the dormancy terminology of different organs like seed and buds with dormancy stage, deep dormancy, the end of dormancy, delaying flowering etc. Morever, in this course, other goals are to give students some imformation about the need of chilling and the sum of growing degree hours in temperate fruits. |
