Unit Description

The first part of the unit covers the identification and characteristics of agriculturally important flowering plant families. This is followed by the ecology of plant interactions and plant adaptation to the environment in crop, pasture and weed species. The unit is taught from an agronomic perspective although botany is a key ingredient. Plant collection skills will be developed. Topics include agricultural plant morphology and taxonomy; ecology of plant interactions; the ecology and adaptation of crop, pasture and weed species. On completion of the unit you will have developed competency in recognising a wide range of important agricultural plants.
