Water and Crop Production

The EU curriculum is organized into 6 course modules:
- Climate: meteorological variables, major climates of the Earth
- Surface energy balance: radiative, conductive, and convective fluxes, surface energy balance,
reference evapotranspiration (Penman and Penman-Monteith methods)
- Plants: growth and development cycle, phenology, geometric structure, photosynthesis, root system,
water in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
- Crop models:
-Monteith approach, water constraints
- Impact of climate change on agriculture

Objectives*:

The objective of this module is to provide the theoretical foundations for understanding the influence of climate on crop pro
. The targeted competencies include knowledge of the fundamentals
of ecophysiology and the relationships between climate, water, and crop production.
