Current Courses HORT 2234 Environmental Factors in Horticulture This survey course introduces the student to the environmental factors of the air and soil that a plant encounters during its life time, plant responses to the environment and the horticultural practices that address these factors. Two major themes guide course content -- the horticulture of the future must be sustainable and successful horticulture requires consideration of plant characteristics, human behavior and environmental factors. Assessment is based on understanding lecture content, a short oral presentation, and a written assignment. (Spr 2009 Q7 = 3.2)
