Integrated Pest Management in Cropping Systems MinorCollege of Food, Agri & Natural Resource Sciences
College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences
Students in this interdisciplinary minor learn how the environment and cropping systems interact with the biology of the major agronomic or horticultural crop pests. Students also learn to select and apply efficient, economically and environmentally sound pest management tactics. Courses come from agronomy and plant genetics, entomology, horticultural science, plant pathology, and soil, water, and climate. The minor provides sufficient knowledge and skills for employment in agricultural crop protection, product development and sales, crop management consultation, pest regulation, research, or application of agricultural crop protection materials. Students must complete 20 credits for this minor.
