Programs: Crop and weed science
Study crop and weed science from agricultural leaders and scholars in the heart of America’s crop production at NDSU.
Crop and weed science is the study of grain and forage crop production, weed science, genetics, plant breeding, crop physiology and plant biotechnology. Students in the field become researchers, agronomists, consultants and help support the overall field of agriculture through crop production.
“The NDSU Department of Plant Sciences provides students a broad range of disciplines to explore as they develop their personalized career path,” said Kirk Howatt, program coordinator and associate professor in the department of plant sciences. “Crop and weed science and horticulture provide the base programs to encompass genetics, plant breeding, plant propagation, crop production and weed management. And the food science program provides training for careers in commodity quality, food processing and consumer appeal. We have a place for anyone working towards a career dealing with plants whether for food, fiber, feed, pharmaceutical or aesthetics.”
