Sources of Additional Information General 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.

General Sales/Marketing Contacts Phosphate/Potash Sales Contacts Feed Ingredients Sales Contacts Agronomy An Essential Plant Nutrient Potassium (K) is a vital plant nutrient. No other nutrient can replace it. It is one of the three major nutrients along with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) Agronomic crops contain about the same amount of K as N, but more K than P. And in many high-yielding crops, K content exceeds N content. Potassium Plays Many Roles Potassium is absorbed (taken up from the soil) by plants in the ionic form (K+). Although it is essential for plant growth, it's exact functions in the plant are not well understood. Unlike N and P, K does not form organic compounds in the plant. It's primary function seems to be tied to plant metabolism. It is involved in several plant processes. Another important role of K in plant growth is its influence on water use efficiency. The process of opening and closing of plant leaf pores, called stomates, is regulated by K concentration in cells which surround the stomates. A shortage of K causes the stomates to open only partially and to be slower in closing. This increases the stress from drought.

General Sales/Marketing Contacts Phosphate/Potash Sales Contacts Feed Ingredients Sales Contacts Agronomy The Importance of Phosphorus in Nature Phosphorus plays a major role in the existence of all living creatures. Among other things, it ensures the transfer and storage of energy and permits the conservation and transmission of genetic characteristics in plants and in animals, as well as in man. Thus, living creatures have an absolute need for phosphorus, and it is mainly agriculture which provides man and animals with this indispensable element. Phosphorus - The Element Elemental phosphorus is ordinarily a colorless, semitransparent, soft, waxy solid that glows in the dark. It is never found free in nature since it takes fire spontaneously upon exposure to air and forms dense white fumes of the pentoxide (P O ). Phosphorus is a nonmetallic chemical element of the nitrogen family (Group Va of the periodic table).

Agronomy ATI Programs W hat is Agronomy? An Associate of Science degree in agronomy focuses on the changing problems in modern crop production and management in relation to propagation, care, and management of cereal, field and forage crops. With the Associate of Science degree, agronomy majors complete a combination of technical and general courses that allow them to gain hands-on experience while completing 50 percent of the curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree at The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. This degree also includes the transfer module, a common set of general education courses which apply to other bachelor's degree programs in Ohio. Students who are not planning to ultimately pursue a bachelor's degree might be interested instead in our "Crop Management and Services" Associate of Applied Science curriculum. Career Opportunities in Agronomy After completing the Associate of Science degree in agronomy, many students choose to further their education by pursuing a bachelor's degree in crop science at the Ohio State Columbus campus. Those who graduate with a major in crop science are prepared for careers within the private sector, with agrochemical, seed, grain, greenhouse, nursery, and food processing companies. Crop scientists may also become independent crop producers or professional agricultural consultants. Salary Trends Beginning salaries for crop science graduates range from $20,000 to $30,000 per year with an average salary of $24,000. Salaries vary depending on location, candidates' skills, and previous job-related experience.

Schedule of Course Offerings Agronomy is the study of the science and technology of crop production for food, forage and fiber. This discipline feeds and clothes a growing world population. Graduates in the Agronomy major can look forward to a wide range of rewarding career opportunities, both domestically and internationally. Students receive excellent training in fundamental principles as well as the more technical and scientific areas. Agronomy students have the freedom to pursue individual interest areas via a 48 unit directed elective package from which they choose their courses from approved department lists. The Agronomy major is divided into two options: Crop Production and Crop Sciences. The Crop Science option is an exciting area, combining agronomy with biotechnology and advanced sciences. Studies in these areas prepare students for entrance into graduate plant science programs throughout the country. Recent graduates from this option are actively employed in careers in plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant pathology, nematology, environmental crop physiology, conservation, and ecology. The Department has excellent rapport with the University of California, Davis where a number of our students pursue graduate studies. Agricultural biotechnology companies actively seek graduates in this option because of their advanced science training combined with sounds fundamental agronomic training.
