Academic Rationale for Absence: Soil Fertility is a course that focuses on the supply of nutrients by the soil and methods to improve this. It is essential that students learn about various products and procedures that would improve the fertility of the soil without compromising environmental health. Applying biosolids and precision agriculture are some of the ways in which this can be accomplished. Exposure to what industry has to offer in these areas will provide the students with a perspective that can simply not be duplicated in a classroom lecture.
