| Course description |
| Soil management in the agro-ecosystems is indispensable to sustainable crop production, and it must be based on the appropriate control of nutrient dynamics and fertilizer application. Student will learn the various soil function related to soil classification, examples of the nutrient cycles of soil, and fertilizer science. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to 1. Explain the material cyclical of soil in the field based on the soil functions, 2. Explain the resources, materials, techniques, and the social system of fertilizers. |
