This course deals with
the concepts, principles and practices used to cul tivate trees or shrubs in
association with crops and pastures. The
course will use a land system that considers many aspects such as
agro-forestry, rangeland, waterways, multipurpose trees, pasture agronomy,
production and processing. The
practical part will focus on identification and collection of pastures (grass
and legume species), making hay and silage, participating in raising tree
seedlings in nursery beds. Students will
also make field trips to farmers’ fields practicing agro-forestry.
