751-4104-00LAlternative CropsW+2 KP2VA. Walter, K. Berger Büter
KurzbeschreibungFew crops dominate the crop rotations worldwide. Following the goal of an increased agricultural biodiversity, species such as buckwheat but also medicinal plants might become more important in future. The biology, physiology, stress tolerance and central aspects of the value-added chain of the above-mentioned and of other alternative crops will be depicted.
LernzielIm Verlauf des Kurses lernen die Studierenden, das Potential verschiedenster Kulturpflanzenarten im Vergleich zu den Hauptkulturarten auf der Basis ihrer biologischen und agronomischen Eigenschaften zu beurteilen. Jeder Studierende nimmt die Beurteilung einer von ihm oder ihr selbst ausgewählten alternativen Kulturart vor und stellt diese den anderen Kursteilnehmern dar. Dabei werden Fachartikel sowie Einträge in Wikipedia zu Hilfe gezogen und selbst bearbeitet.

W+2 KP2GB. Studer, A. Hund
KurzbeschreibungThe seminar 'Current challenges in plant breeding' aims to bring together national and international experts in plant breeding to discuss current activities, latest achievements and future prospective of a selected topic/area in plant breeding.
The topic this year will be: 'Plant Breeding a(nd) Data Science'.
LernzielThe educational objectives cover both thematic competences and soft skills:
Thematic competences:
- Deepening of scientific knowledge in plant breeding
- Critical evaluation of current challenges and new concepts in plant breeding
- Promotion of collaboration and Master thesis projects with practical plant breeders
Soft skills:
- Independent literature research to get familiar with the selected topic
- Critical evaluation and consolidation of the acquired knowledge in an interdisciplinary team
- Establishment of a scientific presentation in an interdisciplinary team
- Presentation and discussion of the teamwork outcome
- Establishing contacts and strengthening the network to national and international plant breeders and scientist
InhaltInteresting topics related to plant breeding will be selected in close collaboration with the working group for plant breeding of the Swiss Society of Agronomy (SSA).
SkriptNone
LiteraturPeer-reviewed research articles, selected according to the topic.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesParticipation in the BSc course 'Pflanzenzüchtung' is strongly recommended, a completed course in 'Molecular Plant Breeding' is highly advantageous.
751-4704-00LWeed ScienceW+3 KP2GB. Streit, U. J. Haas
KurzbeschreibungIm Rahmen eines modernen Unkrautbekämpfungs-Systems werden Kenntnisse zur Unkrautbiologie, -ökologie, die Populationsdynamik, zu Saaten-Unkraut Interaktionen und zu unterschiedlichen Unkrautbekämpfungsmassnamen vermittelt. Unkraut wird als Teil eines Habitats verstanden und nicht bloss als unerwünschte Pflanzen innerhalb einer Saat.
LernzielAt the end of the course the students are qualified to develop sustainable solutions for weed problems in agricultural and natural habitats.
InhaltModern weed management comprises competent knowledge of weed biology, weed ecology, population dynamics, crop-weed-interactions and different measures to control weeds. Weeds are understood to be rather part of a habitat or a cropping system than just unwanted plants in crops. Accordingly, this knowledge will be imparted during the course and will be required to understand the mechanisms of integrated weed control strategies.
