Skrócony opis:

The program of the subject introduces and explains the main concepts and tasks of agroecology as a field of knowledge and practice in temporary systems of agriculture. It is fundamental for understanding, and assessing the results of human (farmer) activity on biodiversity and environment.

Lectures

1-2. Definition of agroecosystem and agroecology.

3-4. Place of agroecosystems in rural landscape, their connections with natural and seminatural ecosystems.

5-6. Influence of the farming system on biodiversity and environmental conditions – possible negative aspects.

7-8. Weeds as an ecological goods?

9-10. Methods of crop production preserving stability and efficiency of agroecosystems.

11-12. Concept and tasks of sustainable agriculture.

13-15. Concept, principles and manners of Good Agricultural Practice and its role in environment protection.

Classes

1-4. Evaluation of different field habitats according to Ellenberg method (weeds as indicators).

5-8. Evaluation of segetal vascular plants diversity according to habitat (soil) conditions and potential intensity of agriculture.

9-15. Using agricultural methods to avoid (reduce) potential negative farming influences on the environment and biodiversity (including planning of crop rotations and methods of weeds/pests reduction and fertilization, according to the habitat conditions, farming systems and rules of Good Agricultural Practice).
