Extractions: The crop, soil, and pest management major is for students who are interested in becoming proficient in the principles and practices necessary for economically viable and environmentally sound management of the natural resource base upon which the food and fiber production system depends. Students follow a strong science-based curriculum that emphasizes crop, soil, and pest management in the context of global ecosystems. Students must complete at least 120 credits to graduate, including 58 credits in the major. Typically 14 credits in the foundation and major requirements also apply toward completion of liberal education requirements. All required courses must be taken A-F, and a grade of at least C- is required in all professional and area of emphasis courses.

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top The work of agricultural and food scientists plays an important part in maintaining the Nations food supply by ensuring agricultural productivity and the safety of the food supply. Agricultural scientists study farm crops and animals, and develop ways of improving their quantity and quality. They look for ways to improve crop yield with less labor, control pests and weeds more safely and effectively, and conserve soil and water. They research methods of converting raw agricultural commodities into attractive and healthy food products for consumers. Agricultural science is closely related to biological science, and agricultural scientists use the principles of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other sciences to solve problems in agriculture. They often work with biological scientists on basic biological research and on applying to agriculture the advances in knowledge brought about by biotechnology.

Extractions: Potential Careers ... Sources of Additional Information Agronomy majors learn about three basic natural elementscrops, soils, and climatesand their interdependence in producing food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Agronomists study theory and practices for improving crop production while conserving natural resources and maintaining environmental quality. What the Major is Like Agronomy (sometimes called crop science, plant science, or soil science) uses plant and soil sciences to produce abundant, high-quality food, feed, and fiber. Crop and plant sciences relate primarily to the genetics, breeding, physiology, and management of field and turf crops. Soil science concentrates on soil physics, soil chemistry, soil origin, soil microbiology, soil fertility, and soil management. It also covers other soil uses, such as foundations for buildings and road construction, waterways, and waste disposal systems. Majors also learn to understand the components of weather and climate. Agronomy students generally begin by studying soil science, crop production, botany or biology, geology, chemistry, English, and statistics. In addition, they study physical and social sciences, communications, economics, and mathematics. All agronomy students are encouraged to take at least one course in plant pathology, entomology, weed science, and soil fertility/plant nutrition.

New technologies are constantly being examined,tested and marketed. The available choices are often daunting. The purpose of this conference is to step back and look critically at numerous on-site solutions, technologies and designs in order to help the professional understand what will work best for a given site. Our nationally recognized speakers will discuss their experiences with innovative systems, operation and maintenance, and where the entire wastewater industry may be headed in the future. The Manufacturers Exhibit will give you an opportunity to talk with some of the leaders in the on-site industry about their products.
