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.
