Quantitative Analysis of Crop Production in an Irrigated Farm (Part II)

In the class of Principles of Agronomy for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Cordoba, students are grouped in pairs to analyze a crop rotation in a specific location. At the end of the semester, the students produce a written report and give an oral presentation of the main results. These activities are major determinants for the final grade of the students. The previous chapter presents a solved example of a practical project for a leek-pepper rotation grown in Belmez, Spain. Here we show a set of additional assignments for the practical project, presenting the solution for the same location and crop rotation. Sections within this chapter are related to frost protection, crop evapotranspiration, irrigation, salinity, fertilization, soil erosion, runoff, modifying the environment, and pesticide application.
