Course Description:
Plant and Soil Science is a course designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of plant growth, soil management, and agricultural crop production. Students will explore the principles of plant anatomy and physiology, soil formation and conservation, plant nutrition, crop production, pest management, greenhouse and nursery operations, and sustainable agricultural practices. Hands-on laboratory activities and field experiences will reinforce classroom instruction while developing technical skills used in modern agriculture. Students will also learn about careers in plant and soil science, agricultural technology, and natural resource management while participating in FFA and Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) to build leadership, career, and personal development skills.
