Course content:
Problems from horticulture (vegetables, aromatic herbs and ornamental plants) and fruit growing are assigned. In particular, the topics of sustainability, climate change and a resilience in horticultural crops are offered. Groups are also created for this purpose.
Project-oriented teamwork in small groups. The project group actively deals with their respective problem and works on it scientifically-practically.
The Bachelor's thesis is to be subject-oriented, application-oriented and scientific and is to be written in good scientific practice 'according to the rules' within the framework of the Bachelor's seminar.
The work on one of the projects is done in coordination with the supervisors. It includes project plan, activity report, final presentation and bachelor thesis. The latter should also include a reflection on the project, the project plan, own experience, group dynamics.
The horticultural projects will mainly take place at the LVZ Jedlersdorf (probably: tomatoes, aromatic herbs, leaf salads, underexploited veggies...).
The orchard projects (organic peach cultivation, organic strawberry cultivation, table grapes, pome fruits) will also take place mainly at LVZ Jedlersdorf.
Introduction and final presentation take place together, otherwise the supervision work takes place in the respective institutes.
