Plant Nutrition and Nutrient Management

Catalog description

Focuses on the macro and micronutrient elements and their function in the growth and development of plants. Emphasis will be placed on the roles of single elements, interactions/balances between elements, and nutrient deficiency/toxicity symptoms as they affect the physiology of the whole plant and management of nutrient applications. The relationships between crop nutrition and production and environmental considerations (yield, drought, temperature, pests) will be explored.
