Course Description
This course is designed to provide an understanding of soil management that focuses on horticultural crops. Students will be exposed to the theoretical and practical hands-on that cover soils and plants macro and micronutrients, nutrients management for the horticultural crops, evaluation of horticultural crops nutritional needs, soilless medium management for horticultural crops and organic amendments. This course will expand the existing knowledge of the students toward soil science and the students will be assisted to understand specific soil management for the horticultural crops including vegetable crops cultivated using soilless media. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to understand the principles in managing soil for horticultural crop production based on different soils and plants nutrient status and able to provide proper corrective measures, and able to conduct scientific laboratory analysis to aid in proper nutrient management of horticultural crops. The outcome of this course will be assessed through scientific skills in the laboratory, written laboratory report, written assignment, and project report.
