Applied Bachelor Program - Plantation Crop Production Technology

Cogon grass is one of the most undesirable weeds in plantations and requires special handling for effective control. Mistakes caused by limited technical understanding of cogon grass control can lead not only to high control costs but also to reduced yield.

Providing foremen with training that covers both knowledge and practical skills will significantly minimize the risks mentioned above.
