Program Summary

Crop and soil science is a field of study focused on understanding the relationship between plants, soils, and the environment to optimize agricultural practices. The course typically covers topics such as plant biology, soil chemistry, soil physics, and ecology, and how these interact to influence crop production. Students learn about soil properties, how they affect plant growth, and how to manage soils to improve crop yields while maintaining sustainability. The course also delves into agricultural practices like irrigation, fertilization, pest management, and crop rotation, aiming to promote efficient and environmentally friendly farming techniques. Students are often exposed to both theoretical concepts and practical applications, including the use of technology in monitoring and improving crop health. This multidisciplinary course prepares students for careers in agriculture, environmental science, and related industries.
