-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites for credit: Junior standing and one course each in Animal Science, Plant Science, and Economics Offered: Not offered on a regular basis Two- or three-week summer tour of selected major agricultural areas. Opportunities for observation of types of farming, associated technologies, and natural-resource endowments. Visits to supply, marketing, and processing plants.

3.00 Credits
Offered: Typically every Fall Term (also offered Spring 2010, as an exception) An overview of ecological production systems managed to generate food, fiber, fuel, and other natural resources for human use and the academic disciplines associated with them. The course will survey the diverse natural-resource systems upon which we depend butwill emphasize biological systems managed for the production of renewable resources. Historical and current understandings of sustainable resource use will be examined and applied to evaluate local, national, and international issues confronting human society today. Students will be introduced to the fields of agriculture, forestry, and wildlife and fisheries management, and have the opportunity to explore careers in these areas. This course should be taken during the first term by all students intending to major or minor in Agriculture and Natural Resources and by any students interested in exploring the major. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed ANR 101 or ANR 106. 1/2 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically alternate Spring Terms (next offered Spring 2009) A study of the production of food from the farm to the table, emphasizing the environmental and economic sustainability of various systems of food production. Includes the science of soil management, systems of crop and livestock management in the production of foodstuff, food chemistry, food safety, and human nutrition. Laboratory experiences and field trips will be included. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Offered: Typically every Fall Term Introduction to the fundamental principles of animal science. Emphasis on breeding, nutrition, management, and marketing of domestic animals. The role of genetics, health, and reproductive management on the productivity of various species will be investigated. Three lectures and one laboratory session each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically every Spring Term This course is designed to develop an understanding of the processes and factors affecting plant growth and development. Biological, soil, genetic, and environmental factors are discussed in relation to agronomic, horticultural, and forest plants. Principles of crop production and management are introduced with emphasis on agroecology and sustainable practices. Three lectures and one laboratory session each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Determined by instructor Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow A course designed to meet the particular interests of student and faculty. Topics vary from year to year. See course description in the "Schedule of Classes." 1/2 to 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ANR 130 or BIO 114 (formerly BIO 314) Offered: Typically every Fall Term An applied study of physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils, emphasizing an ecological approach to management in a variety of contexts including field crops, horticultural crops, forests, and urban environments. This course covers soil formation and classification; fertility for plant nutrition; energy, water, and nutrient cycling; soil degradation and conservation; and soil-quality testing. Students conduct field and laboratory analyses, group and individual research projects, and reviews of the soil-science literature. Three lectures and one laboratory session each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed ANR 340. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Any ANR or BIO course; or permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Fall Term An introduction to honeybee biology and the practice of beekeeping, also known as apiculture. Students will learn how an understanding of bee biology, generated through observation and experimentation, has been applied to develop methods--simple as well as intricate--to manage honeybee colonies for various purposes, such as honey and wax production and crop pollination. Topics covered will include honeybee biology (anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and taxonomy), crop pollination, and beekeeping (historical and current practices). Students will gain practical experience by working with hives, assessing hive conditions, diagnosing problems, and making management decisions. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed ANR 365. 1 Course Credit
