Crop Production is a foundational course that equips trainees with practical and theoretical knowledge in the cultivation, management, and harvesting of various crops. The course covers key principles of agronomy, soil science, crop physiology, pest and disease management, and sustainable farming practices.
Learners are introduced to modern and traditional crop production techniques, including land preparation, planting methods, crop nutrition, irrigation, weed control, and post-harvest handling. Emphasis is placed on efficient use of farm resources, environmental conservation, and adoption of appropriate technologies to enhance productivity.
By the end of the course, trainees should be able to plan, establish, and manage crop enterprises, identify factors affecting crop growth, apply effective crop protection measures, and contribute to improved food security and agribusiness development in their communities.
