Syllabus
Course Objectives
Considering the global and multidisciplinary nature of the master, the course aims to provide an in-depth knowledge about the main cereal crops (e.g., wheat, barley, and other less common cereals), fodder crops (the main species belonging to the Poaceae and Fabaceae families) and grain legumes (e.g., for zootechnical use such as protein peas or for human use such as beans). In addition, reference will be made to non-food cultivation systems (for example for energy use) or crops for the protection of biodiversity in agricultural contexts. The expected learning outcomes are as follows:
• Knowledge of the structure and morphological characters of the main herbaceous crops and their use in farms.
• Knowledge of the specific language for the description of herbaceous crops and their cultivation in cultivation contexts through the best available techniques
• Ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the recognition of the main herbaceous crops
• Knowledge of the structure and morphological characters of the main herbaceous crops and their use in farms.
• Knowledge of the specific language for the description of herbaceous crops and their cultivation in cultivation contexts through the best available techniques
• Ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the recognition of the main herbaceous crops
Course Prerequisites
Knowledge of general biology, general ecology, botany, plant physiology, general and organic chemistry, soil fertility and plant nutrition, agricultural genetics, and general agronomy.
Teaching Methods
The course makes use of lectures and in-depth seminars. Power Point presentations and group activities are used to carry out the lectures, which provide for the creation of moments of debate and discussion starting from the topics presented. Lectures and seminars will be available to students in the teaching section on the moodle KIRO platform.
The course includes laboratory activities aimed at guided practical activities to address case studies, simulations of cultivation activities, project work. The excursion activities will foster experiential learning through information and direct demonstration of farm activities in different on-farm management contexts.

Assessment Methods
During the course it will be required to carry out individual and group activities and at the end of the course an overall evaluation of the work done will be carried out which will include the notions acquired from lectures, laboratories, and excursions. Students will prepare individual presentations/reports prepared following laboratory activities and excursions. Students will be questioned individually for the recognition of seeds and plants of the main herbaceous crops.
