Recommended Optional Programme Components : None

Aim(s) of Course : The aim of this course; to learn environmentally friendly plant-based herbicides, mechanism of these herbicides and use of them in practice.

Course Contents : As results of continuous and uncontrolled use of synthetic originated herbicides, alternative weed management methods has been searched to solve several problems. One of them is plant based herbicides which is more preferable one because of being environmentally friendly. These are replaced in other herbicides. In this course,plants of herbicides, mechanism of these herbicides will be studied.
