This course introduces ecological principles and their application in crop production systems. It explores the relationships between crops and their environment, focusing on how biotic and abiotic factors influence crop growth, distribution, and yield. Emphasis is placed on ecological processes such as population dynamics, species interactions, nutrient cycling, and human impacts on crop ecosystems. Students will develop competencies in applying ecological knowledge to promote sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices.
