PLS 602 - PRINCIPLES OF YIELD PHYSIOLOGY

College of Ag, Food and Environment

Credits: 3

Critical study of the physiological factors and processes involved in determining economic yield in grain crops. The focus will be on factors operating at the whole plant and plant community level as opposed to physiological processes at the cellular or subcellular level. A logical, analytical description of the process of economic yield production by grain crops will be developed and related to historical changes in crop yields and the potential for increasing yields in the future.
