Course summary
Agronomy is the study of soils and field crops. The Agronomy major emphasizes the production, management and use of row crops and forages. The program also evaluates principles of soil development, classification and management practices needed to conserve the soil, protect the environment from soil pollution and improve nutrient supplies to plants. Identification and control of weeds, insects and diseases that affect field crops are integral parts of the agronomy major. A Bachelor of Science degree with an Agronomy major qualifies students for challenging careers in numerous areas. Graduates are employed in farm and range management and crop consulting companies; sales and marketing of equipment and agriculture products; seed, fertilizer, chemical and pesticide industries; and in local, state and federal government agencies.
