      The goal Knowledge of: influence of soil properties on its fertility and fertilizer application; production, composition and application of fertilizers; determination of required quantities of fertilizers; impact of fertilization on plants and environment. Skills: chemical analyses of soil and fertilizers, interpretation of the results, determination and application of required amounts of fertilizers.
      The outcome At the end of the completed program, the student should have the ability to choose the type and quantity of fertilizers, as well as to determine the time of their application, depending on the results of soil chemical analyses, nutrient demands of plants and characteristics of the fertilizers.
