Description

Plant Growth and Development

Course Overview:

This plant growth and development course provides learners with the knowledge and practical understanding required to interpret the physiological processes that drive plant growth and productivity in agricultural systems. It focuses on how plants grow, reproduce, and respond to environmental conditions.

Learners will explore key processes such as cell division, water movement within plants, respiration, gas exchange, and photosynthesis. This plant growth and development course also explains how these processes influence plant health, energy production, and crop yields. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to apply this knowledge to improve crop management and optimise agricultural productivity.

The course is QCTO accredited.

This ensures nationally recognised, industry-aligned agricultural training.

Aligned to Unit Standard 116295 at NQF Level 4 (Credits: 3).
