Course contents :
|
| 1. Introduction;
2. Wheat development modeling;
3. Gaseous exchanges and CO2 assimilation at the vegetal cover scale;
4. Starch and proteins accumulation in wheat kernel;
5. Yield components of peas and biotic and abiotic stress effects;
6. STICS model;

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Learn yield and quality establishment process in major crops;
- Initiate students to use of crops development model.
After completing the course, the student is expected to:
- Understand optimization process in agricultural production in order to increase yield and improve quality;
- Understand crop development models, potential and limits of these models.
