課程概述

Deciduous fruits (temperate fruit crops) constitute to be a great portion of the world fruit industry and research. The diversity and the uniqueness of the location and the climate of Taiwan enable deciduous fruit to be produced in the subtropical and tropical areas. Over the years Taiwan has developed some advance production techniques and great research potentials for deciduous fruit crops. Deciduous Fruits I provides comprehensive information on major economical deciduous fruit crops with emphasis on pome fruits, stonefruit, persimmons and some other minor woody deciduous fruit crops.  

課程目標
Deciduous Fruits I aims to equip student the general background as well as species-specific details on the morphology, physiology, and production of important woody deciduous fruit trees by lecturers and discussions. The second objective of this course is to stimulate student’s independent thinking with a group project. The course will also inspire student’s future career plan with current research tends in deciduous fruits.
