Degree Outcomes:
- Develop an integrated weed control program that will adequately control the weed population when given a certain crop and the weeds that are considered problems.
- Perform calculations to determine the amount of herbicide to add to the spray tank and the amount of chemical applied to the target area with 1% tolerance limits when given a sample problem.
- Recognize how the quality of crop products produced relates to the nutritional requirements of farm animals.
- Develop a soil analysis and fertility program for a designated crop to include a cost analysis.
- Place a chemical in its proper toxicity category and identify safety precautions necessary in its application and use when given a LD50 value of a certain pesticide product.
- Develop a comprehensive knowledge of plant anatomy, morphology and physiology. Utilize this knowledge to help diagnose plant production problems and develop management schemes to correct the problems.
Transferability: The AAS Degree is designed for students planning to enter their chosen career upon graduation. Often only selected credits are considered transferable to public or private baccalaureate institutions.
