Programme Objectives:  

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to:
1.    show understanding of production systems, productivity and propagation techniques;
2.    evaluate the influence of soil and climate on plant growth and production systems;
3.    evaluate the significance of weeds and identify management strategies for their control in production systems;

There are persons working in specialized areas of the plant sciences, some with a higher degree, who may desire or need to increase their knowledge in related areas in the plant sciences.  A programme leading to a Diploma in Plant Production would offer such an opportunity.

The required courses for this Diploma are courses already approved for the M.Sc. programme in Plant Production and Protection.
