Research Greenhouses
Our faculty includes two plastic-covered research greenhouses spanning a total area of approximately 400 square meters, focusing on fruit cultivation and viticulture. Both greenhouses consist of two tunnels. In these semi-automated facilities, the propagation of various garden plants, including seedlings and saplings, is successfully carried out. These production processes provide students with opportunities to engage in hands-on applications in their field of study.
Through this learning environment, students can closely observe plant cultivation processes and integrate their theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
