    The goal Knowledge of microclimate conditions in the protected area, water depth and timing, concentration of mineral fertilizer solutions, the quality of irrigation water and drainage water in accordance with the characteristics of the substrate. The student should learn hydroponic cultivation and plan a proper watering regime and environmental pollution prevention.
    The outcome The student should be able to provide favorable conditions for crop growth in protected areas, to keep records of water and nutrient consumption, to achieve high efficiency of water use, to be able to handles substrates after use, to be able to apply measures to mitigate adverse effects to the environment
    Contents
    Contents of lectures Ambient indoor growing conditions (heating, cooling, darkening, ventilation, extinguishing). Soil and substrates. Crop needs water. Irrigation water quality, permitted solution concentrations, watering regime in different cultivation systems (soil, substrate, hydroponics). Fertigation equipment. Drainage systems, drainage water quality.
    Contents of exercises Setting experiments on the selected substrate, determining the watering regime, growth dynamics, and microclimate growing conditions. The end result is the calculation of watering efficiency. Students combine their results, analyze them and compare them with data from the literature. They study the literature, analyze it and present it orally. Introduction to examples of practice.
