Second-year female students at the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment - Sana'a University executed a practical field application on tomato crop characterization. Supervised by Eng. Ibraheem Al-Maz’al as part of the practical activities for the "Field Application" course, the session aimed to enhance students' applied knowledge and bridge theoretical concepts with field agricultural practices.
The practical application involved studying the primary morphological and agronomic characteristics of the tomato crop. Students observed vegetative growth habits and branching patterns, examined the nature of compound leaves and trichome-covered succulent stems, and tracked the characteristics of flowers, fruits, and crop growth stages from germination through fruiting, documenting field observations according to standard agricultural characterization criteria.
The activity was designed to develop students' skills in identifying and characterizing horticultural crops in the field, equipping them with expertise in gathering agricultural data and accurately recording plant traits to strengthen their scientific and practical capabilities in plant production.
This field exercise falls within the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment's initiatives at Sana'a University to advance applied learning methods, enhance field training, and prepare qualified agricultural professionals equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to Yemen's agricultural sector.
