-
3.00 Credits
Principles for developing plant nutrient management programs in the Great Plains. Topics include assessing crop nutrient needs, making fertilizer recommendations, applying application technology and products to enhance nutrient use efficiency, using sensing technology to assess in-season nutrient needs, quality control functions, and the use of waste products as nutrient sources.
-
3.00 Credits
Techniques in basic plant breeding and biotechnology used to genetically improve crops and procedures to increase, distribute, and maintain breeding stocks and varieties.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles, mechanics, and prediction of water and wind erosion. Influence of soil erosion on soil productivity and environmental quality. Conservation management technologies for erosion control and sustaining soil productivity. Legislation and land-use planning for soil conservation. Course requires microcomputer skills.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles for developing and managing cropping systems in the Great Plains for the efficient use of natural resources, primarily water. Emphasis on dryland cropping systems, management of crop rotations, and the plant/soil/environment interaction. Includes the efficient use of natural resources via an understanding of yield limiting factors, impact of crop rotations and cultural practices, climate, plant growth, and development.
-
3.00 Credits
The nature and function of soil microorganisms in the soil ecosystem. The role of soil microbial activity to soil organic matter, mineral transformations, plant nutrition, and environmental quality.
-
1.00 Credits
Discuss and perform laboratory procedures for enumerating soil microorganisms, quantifying soil biological activities, and nutrient cycling.
-
3.00 Credits
The development of weed management systems based on diagnosis of weed and crop problems, understanding crop-weed associations and interactions with the environment, and integrating weed control tactics such as chemical, biological, cultural, and mechanical practices into recommendations.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to spatial analysis and management of agricultural and environmental resources using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. Emphasis on collecting, displaying, and analyzing spatial or georeferenced soil, crop, or other land surface data.
-
2.00 Credits
Vegetation sampling techniques used in rangeland research and for grassland monitoring and assessment. Use of statistics for sampling, analysis, and presentation of data.
-
1.00 Credits
A field laboratory course designed as a companion to AGRON 660. Labs will consist of methods used for determination of biomass, basal cover, frequency, and density. Additional time will be spent on basic statistics, experimental design, and use of the microcomputer in analyzing data sets.
