Ringkasan program

Agronomy includes crop, soil, weed, range, and environmental sciences. Students in agronomy have diverse interests, including crop production and physiology; crop breeding; soil management, fertility, and conservation; soil and water quality; physical and chemical properties of soils; forages; and range management. Soil science focuses on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils; their many varied uses; fertility and moisture; and managing them to ensure optimum crop growth. Soil science also includes additional aspects of soil uses, such as road and waterway construction, building site preparation, and waste disposal. Environmental science focuses on understanding natural cycles and processes involving soil, plants, water, and air resources. This knowledge is applied toward sustaining a quality environment in the face of the increasing demands the society places on these resources.
