Recommended Optional Programme Components : None

Aim(s) of Course : Microbial and chemical residue problems encountered in herbicides, its mechanism and the factors affecting and the elimination of the problems it creates is the aim of this lesson

Course Contents : The most widely used group of pesticides are herbicides. A permanent and misuse of herbicides create residue problems. The residue problem, it´s mechanism and factors that affect herbicides which break microbial and chemical ways are the subject of this course. How we can manage and eliminate herbicide residue from soil to yield will be examined in this course.
