Second-year female students at the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment at Sana’a University conducted a field activity focused on potato crop characterization. The hands-on training, supervised by Eng. Ibraheem Al-Mazaal, was organized as part of the practical requirements for the Field Practicum course, in alignment with the college's strategic focus on promoting experiential learning and bridging theoretical knowledge with practical agricultural practices.
The field activity covered the study of morphological and agronomic characteristics of the potato crop. Students observed vegetative growth patterns, leaf and stem features, and distinct plant traits across different growth stages, while collecting and recording field data according to standardized agricultural characterization protocols.
The practicum aimed to develop students' scientific and practical skills in crop identification and characterization, enhancing their ability to monitor plant traits and document agricultural data accurately. This hands-on experience strengthens their understanding of crop morphology and its relevance to agricultural research and development.
This activity is part of ongoing efforts by the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment at Sana’a University to modernize instruction, expand field training opportunities, and equip students with essential practical expertise, preparing qualified agricultural professionals to support development in Yemen's agricultural sector.
