The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, under the supervision of Dr. Manar Abdul Falhi, organized a field visit to the college site in Abu Ghraib as part of the Horticulture and Landscape Engineering course requirements for second-year students of the Department of Desertification Control.
The visit aimed to enhance the practical aspects of the course by familiarizing students with horticultural infrastructure and on-site management practices, including the greenhouse, date palm orchard, fig orchard, and vegetable fields.
The visit provided students with the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts in a real work environment, learn about nursery establishment, greenhouse management, and the implementation of field plant propagation programs, as well as observe agricultural service operations, maintenance, and production in research orchards.
These hands-on activities are part of the department’s plan to develop students’ practical skills and link academic study with field training, preparing them for the agricultural labor market and modern horticultural production. This initiative also contributes to achieving the fourth Sustainable Development Goal: Quality Education.
