An outline of interrelationships between physiological activity and crop growth with emphasis on energy conversion and analysis of autotrophic growth in an agronomic environment. Germination, growth integration, flowering and senescence are also to be considered. Physiological responses to environmental stresses such as water, temperature, salinity, nutrients and disease are related to crop productivity. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): One of PLSC 317 or BIOL 331 and successful completion of 84 credit units.
