Department of Soil & Crop Sciences
Welcome

|
Soil and Crop Sciences encompasses the study of the plant, soil, and water resources that are foundational to all agroecosystems. It includes the production and management of food, feed, and fiber crops to meet human needs and the simultaneous protection of our environment. We have a national as well as a world-wide role in improving crop and soil technology.
Soil and Crop Sciences works to integrate genetic diversity, improved soil quality, and efficient use of water resources into sustainable agroecosystems. It simultaneously tries to protect and conserve genetic and soil resources against deterioration and even improve them. This role is mandatory because the world's rapidly increasing population places great pressure on land for food supplies and on environmental quality for human comfort and well-being. |
