PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCE
PLS 104 PLANTS, SOILS, AND PEOPLE: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. (3)
A survey of important world grain, oil, fiber, forage, fruit, vegetable and specialty crop plants. Principles of plant, soil and climatic factors governing adaptation and production of these plants are discussed and applied. Intended to provide substantial plant and soil science background for students not majoring in plant and soil science, but is open and should appeal to beginning plant and soil science majors as well. PLS 210 THE LIFE PROCESSES OF PLANTS. (3)
This course is intended to provide a basic understanding of the natural products and processes that shape the nature of modern plants, and govern their interactions with the environment and characteristics unique to plants, and develop a basic understanding of how these plant attributes relate to oganismic function. Emphasis will be placed on exploring the nature of the major plant biomes of the Earth, their community dynamics, and how member plants compete for space and other resources. Development of optimal plant strategies for reproductive success, plant interaction with other living systems as well as abiotic factors and their defense from predation and attack will also be considered.

Crop and Weed Sciences Major
Program Description
Crop and Weed Sciences (CWS), previously called Agronomy, is the study of grain and forage crop production, weed science, genetics, plant breeding, crop physiology, and plant biotechnology. North Dakota is the nation's leader in production of hard red spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, flax, and sunflower. North Dakota also ranks in the top 10 states for production of several other agronomic crops including dry bean, oat, rye, sugarbeet and grass hay, and usually ranks third in total acreage of crops harvested. Income from sales of crops accounts for over half of the annual cash income of North Dakota farmers. Crops utilized as livestock feed account for much of the cash income credited to livestock sales. Thus, North Dakota State University offers a setting well suited for the study of Crop and Weed Sciences.
Career Opportunities
There usually are more employment opportunities available than there are qualified graduates, except during depressed economic periods. Since producers require annual inputs such as seed, fertilizers, and herbicides, they seek assistance in sales or service areas such as crop consulting, chemical application, and soil testing each year. Therefore, opportunities for CWS graduates usually have been more stable than for employment areas where inputs can be deferred when income is low. The employment opportunities in CWS can best be summarized by the jobs that our graduates have accepted. Our graduates have been employed as: (1) crop production consultants; (2) marketing experts for herbicides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals; (3) managers of farm service centers for cooperatives and elevators; (4) agents in the production and marketing of certified seeds; (5) natural resources conservationists and agents for other governmental agencies; (6) county agricultural extension agents; (7) field representatives for sugarbeet or food processing companies; (8) farm managers; (9) farm insurance agents; (10) research associates with universities and private companies; and (11) persons involved in the reclamation of stripmined lands. About 25% of the CWS graduates at NDSU choose to return to farming or ranching, and 15% continue their studies to receive M.S. or Ph.D. degrees.

Re: What coursework for soil science majors?
Hi David, I'm a consultant modeller to various agricultural companies and research organizations. Much of this work focuses on soil water and nutrient dynamics. I think there is an increasing demand on consultants in the soil sciences to have a good understanding of the interaction between the soil and the plant. By looking at the influence of plant demand for water and nutrients on soil water and nutrient dynamics, I'm sure your students would gain a useful, practical perspective for soil management. I realise that it is difficult to decide where to draw the line between the soil and plant courses! I've developed WaterMod 2, which is used in both teaching and research for studying soil water dynamics in agricultural systems. In this program, I've tried to get a consistent balance between the treatment of soil and plant processes. It might be useful in your course - let me know if you'd like more information.

Requirements
Crop science is the study of plants which are used to produce food and fiber for humans and feed for animals. Modern crop science includes basic and applied courses in a diversity of study areas. The crop science major allows students flexibility in preparing for careers. Careful course selection in the first two years permits students to choose from numerous electives during their junior and senior years. Elective courses in genetics, chemistry, computer science, animal sciences, botany, economics, business, engineering, entomology, plant pathology, and other areas broaden the scope of education. Practical Experiences
Many courses in the crop science major include laboratories in which students obtain experience related to their coursework. Internships provide practical experience in crop sciences, and students may arrange to receive course credits for internships. Part-time or full-time internships may be arranged with experiment stations, businesses, industries, or government agencies. Scientists in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences offer work-study opportunities to students to assist in research. A special problems course in agronomy awards academic credit for experience in research. Leadership training is provided through the Agronomy Club and other campus activities. Career Opportunities
Career opportunities for crop science graduates are diverse. Employment opportunities are found in agribusiness sales and service, education, financial institutions, government service, and farming. Specific areas of employment are agricultural business manager, agricultural chemical sales and promotion, agricultural extension agent, agricultural missionary, farmer, farm manager, international agriculturalist, herbicide specialist, industrial agronomist, and research technician.
