Course Contents

Theoretical information about organic and inorganic chemicals such as primary and secondary metabolites, macro elements, micro elements, hormones, vitamins and heavy metals and pesticides found naturally in horticultural plants are acquired. Theoretical and practical information about the analysis within the plant by methods such as dry matter, ash and extraction can be obtained and interpreted.
