Classes

• Pls104 - PLANTS, SOILS, AND PEOPLE: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. ; Credits - 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. .
  Instructors: Saratha V. Kumudini, Todd W. Pfeiffer, Robert G. Anderson, Sharon Bale, Timothy Colong, Thomas H. Cottrell, Gerald R. Brown
