Module: Tree fruit productions
(objectives)
At the end of the course the student will acquire knowledge and understanding of the concept of quality in fruit production and of the main factors infulencing the quality of fruit production during the seasonal production cycle. In relation to the main types of woody fruit crops, the aspects of developmental biology and physiology that are most responsible for determining fruit quality will be addressed, as well as aspects of the most appropriate cultivation techniques for the sustainable production of fruit quality in relation to environmental conditions and limitations and market needs. The student will acquire the ability to analyse the possible interactions between tree agroecosystems, environment and applied cultivation techniques (applying knowledge and understanding). The student will acquire the ability to make judgements, also through the critical consultation and comparison of various types of teaching materials. The student will acquire the ability to document and communicate the acquired knowledge with appropriate terminology (communication skills) and the ability to promote his/her own self-updating (learning skills).

Description of the fruit nursery and plant certification. Organography in the different fruit species. Main aspects of pollination, fruit set and fertilisation in the different species. Parthenocarpy and apomixia of the fruits. Fruit development and ripening in the main species. Evaluation of fruit quality in different species; ripening indexes and methodologies. Vocationality of the environment to the cultivation of fruit species, sustainable production processes. Types, selection criteria and management of forms of farming and density of planting. Soil, canopy and harvest management techniques in relation to the soil and climate environment. Differences between Pomes and Stones and species for Nuts. Monographic treatment of the main fruit species: actinidia, pome fruit, stone fruit, nuts, olive, vine, minor fruit and small fruit. For each species, the following are considered: origin, distribution and prospects for crop development; botanical and biological characteristics (systematic classification, description of the plant and its organs, ontogenetic cycle and phenological phases, flower biology); climatic, soil, water and nutritional requirements; cultivar choice; propagation and rootstocks; breeding (objectives, means and results); cultivation techniques (orchard planting and management systems): density of planting, pruning, nutrition, irrigation, tillage); maturation, harvesting, conservation and use of the product; qualitative evaluation of the fruit.

Module: Horticultural productions
(objectives)
The aim of the course is to define the concept of quality of vegetables, with insights on its various components. Considering the different types of vegetables, the students will be able to understand and acquire knowledge about agronomic factors and technologies that modify the quality of production in different environmental contexts. At the end of the course they will have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in different production contests (applying knowledge and understanding), in autonomy and making judgements (making judgements). The course will focus on improving learning and communication skills in various professional contexts. Students will acquire the ability to promote his/her own self-updating (learning skills).

Definition of quality and intrinsic and exogenous properties. Nutritional, organoleptic, and commercial quality, safety. The qquality for different types of vegetables: roots, leaves, fruits. Gamma IV. Nitrate control in vegetables. Factors influencing quality: variety choice, environment, cultivation techniques, the stage of maturation at harvest. Strategies to improve quality: herbaceous grafting, fertilization and mineral enrichment techniques (potassium, magnesium, sulfur, silicon, calcium), irrigation, biostimulants (categories and applications). Greenhouse vs open field. The quality of vegetables grown in soilles systems. Nutraceutical greenhouses to produce functional foods.
