resources, and enhancement of environmental quality. Research within the
department focus on breeding, genetics and physiology of field crops; soil and

weed management; and soil microbiology. Extension programs emphasize
environmental quality associated with nutrient, pesticide, and waste
management; soil and crop information systems; and agronomic production
practices for field crops.
