Department of Agroecology and Biometeorology

 

The department deals with the structural and functional properties of agro-ecosystems, the influence of biophysical environment, socio-economic factors, sustainable farming practices and sustainable production methods.

The Department participates in bachelor programmes at all faculties of the University. It also provides special courses for masters and PhD. students of the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources (FAFNR) including practice and fieldwork. The courses, Advanced Agrometeorology (FAFNR) and Agricultural systems I. (Faculty of Economics and Management) are delivered in English.

Scientific and research activities at the department intersect with many related branches. The department participates in institutional research projects within the faculty, and various domestic and international grant agencies. In the research area of farming practice, shallow tillage for crops, yield formation, soil conditions, and the economy are studied.
Weed science covers conventional areas such as biology, ecology of important weed species, methods and technologies of weed control in cropping systems, biological efficacy, phytotoxicity and other features of herbicide application. Possible use of GMO as herbicide resistant crops and use of GIS for weed control has recently been investigated. Meteorological research is oriented to agrometeorological modeling, standardization of climatological and meteorological data, temperature measurement and radiation characteristics in field crops and the landscape.
