PLANT SCIENCE
PLS 2 SOILS (3 Units)
This course examines the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils as a medium for plant growth. Principles discussed include soil formation
factors, development, and the interactive effects of soil properties. Soil analysis, interpretation, and management for environmental horticulture,
forestry, and production agriculture is detailed on course completion. Emphasis in production agriculture on topics such as soil fertility, soil salinity and
reclamation, and land use planning. Forestry applications include soil mapping, erosion control, and taxonomy.
