Duration: 3 years

The purpose of the educational program " Scientific basis of plant nutrition and fertilizer application " is the preparation of phd doctors with a high level of professional competence, including a culture of professional communication, with a civil position, able to formulate and solve modern experimental and practical problems in the educational and scientific field on the theory of plant nutrition and the development of techniques optimization of mineral nutrition of plants when using fertilizers.

The main tasks of the educational program "scientific basis of plant nutrition and fertilizer application"

- meeting the needs of the individual in the field of vocational education, creating conditions for the implementation of the principle of individualization and differentiation of the learning process;

- deepening the fundamental knowledge of balanced plant nutrition, regulation of metabolic processes and the role of fertilizers in crop formation and its quality.

- mastering by the doctoral student of the most important and sustainable knowledge, ensuring a holistic perception of the theory of mineral nutrition of plants;

- the formation of students' ability to self-improvement and self-development, the needs and skills of independent creative mastering new knowledge on the targeted regulation of the conditions of mineral nutrition of plants to obtain products of a given qualitative composition;

- training of specialists able to solve modern scientific and practical problems and carry out research, management and teaching activities in higher educational institutions.

General characteristics of the educational program

Modern agricultural technologies are complexes of technological operations for managing the production process of agricultural crops to achieve the planned yield and product quality while ensuring environmental safety and a certain economic efficiency.

Agrotechnologies are connected in a single system of agrolandscape management through crop rotations, tillage systems, fertilizers and plant protection. However, they have an individual value, defined. first of all. features of the variety, soil and climatic conditions. A special role here belongs to the creation of fertilizer systems, which would most closely take into account the needs of cultivated plants.

The solution of the problem of yield and improvement of the quality of agricultural products while maintaining soil fertility must be linked to the characteristics of agrophytocenoses. This inevitably requires a special approach to the development of scientifically based measures for the rational use of fertilizers and the preservation of soil fertility based on an integrated ecological and agronomic approach, taking into account the biological productivity of plants and the balance of nutrients in agriculture, which will make it possible to predict the need of crops for nutrients, the appropriateness of the ratio of nutrients and effects of fertilizers on the soil. The above determines the relevance of the development of this educational program.

The peculiarity of the program being implemented is its focus on preparing graduates for professional scientific and production activities, ready to solve the issues of developing the scientific foundations for the effective use of fertilizers and directional regulation of the mineral nutrition of cultivated plants that ensure the reproduction of soil fertility and eliminate undesirable environmental consequences.
