Learning Outcomes
# Öğrenme Kazanımı
1 He/She understands the importance of grains in agricultural production.
2 It compares the criteria for distinguishing between cool-climate cereals and warm-climate cereals.
3 Certain species of cereals belonging to the cereal family, found in both cool and warm climates, generate new projects in terms of human and animal nutrition, breeding, and the production of raw materials for industrial use.
4 They learn about the morphological characteristics of cool-climate and warm-climate plants and synthesize this knowledge in production projects.
5 It develops suitable models for projects aimed at growing cool-climate and warm-climate cereals in different ecologies, taking into account their adaptation characteristics.
6 It provides producers with information on material supply, the production process, and potential problems and solutions to problems encountered during this process, in addition to recommending grain types.
