The course aims to introduce the vegetable nursery sector through technical-practical lessons based on the “learning by doing” type of laboratory teaching. Therefore, through laboratory activities students will gain knowledge about the agronomic management of a vegetable nursery (preparation of containers, gamic and agamic propagation methods, grafting). By the end of the course, students will have acquired adequate knowledge and skills in the field of nurseries (applying knowledge and understanding), independently and with adequate critical ability (making judgements). In addition, the course will pay attention to improving the communication skills (communication skills) of students in different professional contexts who will also acquire skills to promote their own self-aggrandizement (learning skills).

The course aims to present some aspects of floricultural practice through lectures based on the “learning by doing” type of laboratory teaching. Through laboratory activities, students will be able to acquire knowledge about planting, cuttings, use of containers (pots), and choice of substrates within a floricultural nursery. At the end of the teaching, students will have acquired adequate knowledge and skills in the field of floricultural nursery (applying knowledge and understanding), independently and with adequate critical ability (making judgements). In addition, the course will pay attention to improving the communication skills (communication skills) of students in different professional contexts who will also acquire skills to promote their own self-aggrandizement (learning skills).

Modulo di Entomologia
To provide students with: concepts related to entomological monitoring systems both in field and greenhouse; to carry out direct and indirect monitoring activities
Knowledge and understanding skills
The teaching aims to develop students' knowledge and understanding skills, such as:
- Knowing and understanding the salient features of the entomological world
- knowing the logic of post-embryonic development and the fundamental morphological characters. - To know and understand the biology and ethology of insects, with particular regard to phytophagous and beneficial insects
Applied knowledge and understanding
Teaching will enable knowledge and understanding to be applied, for example
- Recognize an insect down to family level.
- Apply population control systems according to the ethology of the phytophagous
- Develop manual skills in entomological management at both the nursery and field level
- Identify the logic of agricultural production and develop appropriate entomological pest control systems
Autonomy of judgement
Teaching allows the development of autonomy of judgement at various levels, such as
- Hypothesizing the main phytophagous insects of greenhouses and open fields
- propose the most appropriate control strategies
Communication skills
Participating in lectures and exercises, making independent use of the material provided will facilitate the development and application of communication skills, such as
- provide a sufficient range of practical examples of the application of recognition and control systems
- using appropriate and up-to-date technical agronomic vocabulary.
Learning skills
Participating in the lectures and exercises, making independent use of the material made available will facilitate the consolidation of one's learning skills, enabling one to, for example
- stimulate an autonomous program of continuous knowledge updating.
- autonomously identify ways to acquire information from the experiential knowledge of farmers and nursery managers and the professional knowledge of agronomists
- identify and use the most useful sources of information for personal updating.
