Çukurova University Agriculture Faculty Field Crops Department is located in Adana, in the south of Turkey, where Mediterranean climate prevails. The department is divided into 3 main branches of science: cereals, industrial and forage crops. However, research activities have been carried out for many years in sub-sections such as plant breeding, turf grasses, grain legumes, and bioenergy crops within the department. To date, many research projects have been carried out within the framework of university-industry cooperation, and as a result, many new varieties with high yield and quality have been improved. In addition, training on sustainable agricultural practices have been arranged for farmers and public and private sector representatives on a regular basis within the department.
