 Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course students will be able to;

1. Understand of the causes and the effect of biochemical reactions to plant and animal growth.
2. To reveal opportunities for the controlling those reactions and to develop chemical products that will be provide the desire assistance or control
3. Biochemical materials developed to assist in the production of food, feed, and fibers
4. Preserving of increasing the fertility of soil, maintaining and improving agricutlruel yield, and improving the quality of crop.
