Extractions: Plant Science Technology Program Curriculum: STARTED AUTUMN 2002 This new curriulum takes an entrepreneurial approach to agriculture, stressing a combination of practical skills and good basic knowledge; students learn in the context of social and environmental repsonsibility using sustainable production systems. Graduates will be skilled in problem solving, diagnostics and whole-systems analysis. The first two semesters are common for the three areas of concentration ( Ornamental horticulture, edible horticulture and agronomy ). This allows the student flexibility in choosing options and selecting courses in the second year. The first year courses provide students with a strong background in plant production techniques and small business practices preparing them for their summer work practicum. In their second year of study, students concentrate in their area of specialization, allowing them to tailor their education by selecting from more specialized courses.

Extractions: Crop Science Program Dept. of Plant Sciences Crop Development Centre Adjunct Faculty Emeritus Faculty ... Home Crop Science is one of the areas of specialization offered to students in the College of Agriculture and is administered by the Department of Plant Sciences. The discipline of Crop Science is an applied science that concerns itself with optimizing the productivity and utilization of crop plants through use of environmentally-friendly, sustainable cropping systems. Since the arable area of Saskatchewan is approximately 19.5 M hectares, of which about 75% is seeded each year and represents close to 50 % of the arable land in Canada, Crop Science is of particular importance to the province. The Crop Science program is designed to provide considerable flexibility in course selection so as to allow students to prepare for careers in agribusiness, extension, research or farming. Through appropriate course selection, students can place emphasis on agronomy, biotechnology, crop physiology, crop protection, crop quality, and plant breeding and genetics. Philosophy of Instruction The objective of the Crop Science specialization is: to provide students with a sound academic background in basic science and the theoretical and applied aspects of Crop Science

Extractions: Plant Science is one of five degrees that a student enrolled in the College of Agriculture at Arkansas State University can obtain. Plant Science actually encompasses two areas of study, agronomy and environmental horticulture. By choosing the majority of courses in one area or the other, a student will, in effect, be majoring in agronomy or environmental horticulture. What is Agronomy? Agronomy is the study of crops plants, soils and their surrounding environment. Crop science relates primarily to the genetics, breeding, cell biology, physiology, management of field crops, pest and weed management. Soil science is heavily oriented towards soil chemistry, soil origin, soil microbiology, soil fertility and soil management as applicable to plant growth. What is Environmental Horticulture? Environmental Horticulture is that branch of plant science which deals with the production and management of ornamental plants including flowers, trees, shrubs and turf grasses. Environmental Horticulture is an extremely diverse field encompassing greenhouse production of cut flowers and potted plants, garden center operation, landscape maintenance, landscape construction, landscape design, urban forestry, public garden management, horticultural therapy and many more.

Extractions: Getting To Know a Catena: A Field Exercise for Introductory Soil Science Soils present a marvelous opportunity for science students to see the practical real-world implications and applications of the principles of basic physics, biology and chemistry. Soils play key roles in every type of ecosystem on land, and have major effects on the ecology of aquatic ecosystems, as well. Hands-on experience is an important part of learning about soils. That is why most college level introductory soil science courses include a weekly laboratory. While many analyses can be performed on soil material brought into the lab, to understand soils as natural bodies in the landscape one must go into their natural habitat. Therefore, the lab portion of introductory soil science courses commonly includes one or more field trips. Examining a catena of soils in the field is an excellent way to help students broaden their knowledge of soil profiles and soil-landscape relationships. Published in the Journal of Natural Resources and Life Science Education, this paper presents a simple but effective approach for studying a catena in a lab class of 15 to 25 students. The laboratory exercise can be conducted in 1.5 hours, not including travel time to and from the field site. It was designed for an introductory college level class, but could easily be adapted for junior or senior high school science classes. A detailed description of a field exercise allows teachers to help students see and experience the effects of topography on soil morphology using a side-by-side examination of four soil series representing drainage classes from well drained to poorly drained. Attention is drawn to teaching techniques that can maximize the educational benefits of the field exercise.
