- AGROCHEMISTRY AND PLANT NUTRITION PhD.
The doctoral study program in Agrochemistry and Plant Nutrition is based on the principles of “precision agriculture," which has become increasingly prominent in EU countries. The program adheres to requirements for efficient plant nutrition without negative impacts on the environment, aiming to ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production with strictly regulated agrochemical inputs into the agroecosystem.
Graduates master and advance scientific research and development methods in the field of agrochemistry and plant nutrition. They are capable of independently conducting scientific research projects, analyzing the causality of changes occurring in soil and plant organisms, and quantifying the influence of various factors using statistical methods.
