Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
It is designed to provide: knowledge related to plant nutrition, soil fertility and fertilization management, namely the determination of plant nutrient availability, soil fertility evaluation methods and nutrient balance in the soil-plant system; to known the correct use of fertilizers; deepen the concepts of rational fertilization and environmental impact. Intention of the student be able to: calculation of fertilization rates; control the production system integrating the knowledge of soil science, climatology and viticulture; participate in the
programming and design of new plantations or modification of existing ones; to assess and manage irrigation systems at the farm level; and addressing Water Resources and Irrigation, concepts and the relationship between resources and their use.

Teaching Methods
1. Structured exposition of the theoretical subject under study. The syllabus contents are taught using audio-visual means, exposing the theoretical concepts exemplified.
2. Observation, interpretation and resolution of practical assignments, with presentation and discussion, and with a strong intervention component of the students in the interpretation and commentary on the subjects addressed.
3. Learning based on the realization of a Project, throughout the semester, to solve a situation / problem, task or condition, through the planning, design and design of a series of activities and operations to be developed.
Continuous evaluation, with two frequencies of equal quotation (35%) in the middle and end of the semester, and the elaboration of a Project with research (30%); alternatively final evaluation at the end of the semester with Written Exam (70%) and Project (30%).
