Course Description

Agriculture Essentials is a foundational course that introduces learners to the science and practice of modern agriculture.
Through structured modules, the course covers:

  • The evolution of agriculture

  • Plant biology and growth fundamentals

  • Soil types and fertility

  • Water management and irrigation systems

  • Seed types and planting techniques

  • Nutrient management and recognizing plant deficiencies

The course blends scientific knowledge with practical, real-world skills, making it suitable for beginners, aspiring farmers, agritech learners, and anyone preparing for advanced vertical farming or hydroponic systems.
By the end, students will have a strong understanding of how plants grow, what they need, and how to manage an efficient and productive agricultural system.

Course Outcomes

After completing this course, learners will be able to:


 Plant & Growth Knowledge

  • Explain the basic structure and function of plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds.

  • Understand photosynthesis and its impact on plant health.


Soil & Water Management

  • Identify soil types and evaluate soil fertility.

  • Understand the role of pH, nutrients, and organic matter.

  • Recognize irrigation methods and choose the right one for different crops.


 Seeds & Planting

  • Distinguish between hybrid, open-pollinated, organic, and GMO seeds.

  • Apply correct planting depth, spacing, and germination conditions.


 Nutrient & Deficiency Management

1 Introduction to Agriculture
36 Min

Agriculture is the science and art of producing food, fibers, and other desired products through the cultivation of plants and the raising of animals. It includes: Crop production Animal farming Soil management Water management Technology & mechanization Agribusiness & food systems


2 History & Evolution of Agriculture
20 Min

Ancient agriculture Domestication of plants Irrigation in Mesopotamia & Egypt Mechanization Green Revolution Modern precision agriculture AI & robotics in agriculture


1 Plant Structure
20 Min

Roots (water & nutrient absorption) Stem (transport system) Leaves (photosynthesis) Flowers (reproduction) Seeds (new plant formation)


2 Photosynthesis Simplified
20 Min

Plants convert sunlight + CO₂ + water → glucose + oxygen Why sunlight is essential Why nitrogen affects leaf color How chlorophyll works


1 Soil Composition
30 Min

Soil = minerals + organic matter + water + air. Types: Clay Sand Silt Loam (best)


2 Soil Fertility
20 Min

Macronutrients: N, P, K Micronutrients: Fe, Zn, B, etc. pH levels Organic matter importance


1 Water Needs of Plants
30 Min

Evaporation Transpiration Why roots rot What is drought stress


2 Irrigation Systems
30 Min

Drip Sprinkler Surface Automated irrigation Basics of hydroponics (NFT, DWC, Aeroponics)


1 Seed Types
30 Min

Open pollinated Hybrid GMO Organic Treated seeds


2 How to Plant Correctly
30 Min

Spacing Depth Soil preparation Watering Seedling care


1 Understanding NPK
30 Min

Nitrogen: leaves Phosphorus: roots Potassium: overall strength


2 Recognizing Deficiencies
30 Min

Examples: Yellow leaves → Nitrogen deficiency Purple veins → Phosphorus deficiency Brown edges → Potassium deficiency
