Course Level: undergraduate
Course Description: Chemical, physicochemical and biological aspects of soil fertility. Plant nutrition and nutrients uptake by the roots. Properties of the root environment and the main processes taking place near the root surface. Fertilizers and current knowledge of the basic technologies of fertilizers used in modern agriculture.
Modeling plant response to deficit irrigation: Separating water and salt effects in the uptake function, and its use to minimize leaching
Heavy metals in soils and their uptake by plants
Phosphorus reactions and availability in soils amended with sewage sludge
Development and examination of new approaches to evaluate nutrient availability for plants
Hydro-geochemistry of phosphorus in re-wetted peat-soils
