Course content
|
Bio-tests on plants (breeding, pesticides and stimulants application etc.) are finalization of basic research. This type of experiments under field conditions are influenced by many factors as rainfalls, light, disease and pest occurance, temperature and others. The aim of object is to learn students how to carry out field trials with high coincidence with farm planting of crops. Aim of field trials id to create optimal method for plants testing in randomized plots, with following statistical evaluation. Other topics are: small plot trials, plot experiemnt, semi-trials experiments and methods of treatment and planting in all these conditions including collection of observed data. Students will do their own assessment of traits and own observation from real field trials for bether understanding of field experiments.

Learning outcomes
|
Proficiency in establishing, conducting, and evaluating field and pot experiments, including the interpretation of results.
The aim of the course is to teach students the fundamentals of testing substances on plants, as well as the principles and organization of pot, field, and semi-operational trialsincluding those conducted for breeding, plant nutrition, and other purposes. The course also covers the basics of plant assessment, biometric data collection, statistical analysis, and the final interpretation of results. As part of the course, each student independently prepares a report on a field or pot trial, including the evaluation of the findings. Theoretic and practical skills from field experiments, knowledges and skills from establishment, planting in trial, collection biometrical data and final evaluation from field trials. Intrepretation of obtained results. Graduates will be more considered from companies aimed at testing agrochemicals in field trials and breeding organisations.
