About the course
Content of the course
The course consists of 8 modules and 3 optional modules:
Module 1:Introduction
- Introduction into how plants function.
Module 2: Photosynthesis
- The process of photosynthesis.
- The effects of the inputs and outputs of this process and what you can achieve with this.
Module 3: Light
- Light is the most important growth factor in a closed system, both day length, light quality (colours) and quantity (Intensity or Daily Light Sum) must be managed in the right way. How to handle this, is the main subject in this block.
Module 4: Respiration
- The process of development of the plant.
- How to respond to this process.
Module 5: Hormones
- The most important internal and external drivers of plant development.
- How to respond to these drivers
Module 6: Temperature humidity and CO2 control.
- The effects of temperature, humidity and CO2 will be made clear in this block.
Module 7: Plant Nutrients
- What are the essential nutrients for plants. What exactly are these nutrients, and why do we need to know so much about them?
Module 8: Nutrient uptake
- During this block you will start to learn about the basic principles of nutrient uptake, for example different transport systems.
Optional Modules: Crop protection, plants pests and diseases, water, nutrients and transpiration
