-
3.00 Credits
A study of the transport of water, heat, gases, and solutes in soil. Examples are presented that related to both agricultural and engineering land uses. Emphasis is given to understanding how soil physical properties and soil management practices influence transport processes.
-
3.00 Credits
Properties of water, terminology in plant and soil water relations, environmental aspects of plant-water relations, soils as a water reservoir, water as a plant component, water movement through the plant, special aspects of transpiration, development and significance of internal water deficits, drought resistance mechanisms, water consumption by crop plants.
-
3.00 Credits
Herbicide fate in plants and soils. Physiological and biochemical processes in plants and soils as affected by herbicides. Molecular biochemistry of herbicide resistance that have developed in the field. Biotechnologically derived herbicide-resistant crops.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of advanced weed ecology topics including weed/crop interference, weed growth and development, herbicide resistance, biological control, spatial and temporal population dynamics, and ecological approaches to weed management.
-
3.00 Credits
Theories and procedures for the chemical analysis of soils and plant materials. Applications of analysis in soil fertility evaluations and in research work are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of statistical principles to biological populations in relation to gene and zygotic frequencies, mating systems, and effects of mutation, migration, and selection on equilibrium populations; partitioning of genetic variance, concept and methods of estimating heritability, theoretical basis of heterosis, diallel cross and combining ability, genotype by environment interaction, genetic advance under selection, models on phenotypic expression of various crops; genetics of autopolypoids.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the behavior of plant nutrients in soils emphasizing nutrient sources, the interaction of nutrient with soils, and the role of plant root as nutrient sinks. Includes processes used in the formulation of chemical fertilizers and the assessment of available nutrients in non-commercial plant nutrient sources.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of nitrogen metabolism, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, growth substances, and hardiness applied to crop production.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover the basic physical-chemical properties and reactivities of soil organic matter and organic chemicals, the fundamental processes controlling the fate of organic chemicals, and the methods for estimating their environmental behavior in the soil-water system.
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers in detail the mechanics of an applied plant breeding program for agronomic crops.
