| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||
| Objective: to provide an on-site knowledge of tropical agriculture, forestry and horticulture and related problems. The multidisciplinary approach ensures a 'holistic' perception of possibilities/limitations associated with tropical plant production. The various crops are reviewed in groups according to use/type, their specific cultivation problems, demands to soil and climate, and production systems. The course will enable students to identify problems in sustainable tropical plant production. | |||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||
| The course is addressed - and will be a necessary prerequisite - to students who plan to focus their university degree on tropical agriculture, forestry and horticulture, tropical soil science, crop protection in the tropics, tropical plant pathology, or other subjects related to plant production in the Third World. Students contemplating a career within agencies or institutions in the developing countries will find the course to be of relevance. | |||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||
| Curriculum: During the initial two thirds of the course field excursions in combination with on-site lectures reviewing the multidisciplinary aspects of the different soils, crops and production systems will be conducted. In addition, field exercises with supervision/instruction in study groups - according to common research field - will form an integrated part of the daily work. During the final third of the course the participants will be expected to work in groups with subjects/problems prepared by the lecturers resulting in the presentation of a report. A presentation and assessment of the reports will conclude the course. | |||||||||||||||
