Extractions: Toni DiTommaso joined the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences as an Assistant Professor in Weed Science in August 1999. Professor DiTommaso's research interests are in the areas of weed biology/ecology, biological weed control, and integrated weed management. He is also very much interested in the development of new approaches and methodologies for the teaching of undergraduate and graduate weed science and integrated pest management courses. He has been Chair of the Education Committee of the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) since 2002 and is an active member of both the WSSA and Northeastern Weed Science Society (NEWSS). Professor DiTommaso is lead-author of the recently released comprehensive weed identification/biology guide entitled: Weed Identification, Biology and Management

Extractions: Coordinating Counselor: D. J. Parrish (231-9778; dparrish@vt.edu This interdisciplinary program, leading to a bachelor of science in environmental science, is offered through the Department of Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences. The major brings the basic sciences to bear on many crucial concerns about the environment. The environmental matters of particular interest revolve around our land and water resources. Specific concerns include land-use planning, waste management, ground- and surface-water quality, reclamation and remediation of disturbed or contaminated sites, and agricultural and other human impacts on the environment. The environmental science curriculum is multidisciplinary and strongly science and technology oriented. The basic sciences and computational skills are at the core of each of the major's four options, but technical requirements make each option unique. The curriculum prepares one for immediate entry into environmental careers, as well as for graduate specialization.

Extractions: The major in Soil and Crop Sciences provides the required core courses and the flexibility to develop a broad-based understanding and appreciation for the basic natural and social sciences; communication skills, and to explore human interests and leadership potential. Students from a wide range of rural and urban backgrounds learn principles that apply to the current challenges in soil, plant, and environmental sciences. Each graduating senior with a major in Soil and Crop Sciences will participate in an assessment of the educational progress of students within this major. Presentations in senior seminar, performance in the senior-level crop and soil management courses, and performance on the exit evaluation will be used to assess student learning. There are seven concentrations that permit specialization in subjects that require education in technical areas but continue to provide flexibility for students to develop broad-based interests. A student may major in Soil and Crop Sciences without declaring a specific concentration. Emphasis is on providing the student maximum flexibility in tailoring the curriculum to meet individual needs. A seed science option within one of the concentrations and a second major program with agricultural business is also available. Concentrations:

Crop And Weed Sciences Fact Sheet The crop and weed sciences (CWS) major in the Department of Plant sciences is the study of grain and forage soil 210 Introduction to soil science, 3 http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/academic/factsheets/ag/cropweed.shtml
Extractions: Usually, more employment opportunities are available in CWS than there are qualified graduates. Producers require annual inputs such as seed, fertilizers and herbicides, so they seek assistance in sales or service areas such as crop consulting, chemical application and soil testing each year. Therefore, opportunities for CWS graduates usually have been more stable than for employment areas where inputs can be deferred when income is low. Also, salaries for CWS graduates are at or near the top among all graduates in agriculture. The employment opportunities in CWS can best be summarized by the jobs that our graduates have accepted. Our graduates have been employed as: (1) crop production consultants (agronomist); (2) marketing experts for herbicides, fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals; (3) managers of farm service centers for cooperatives and elevators; (4) agents in the production and marketing of certified seeds; (5) research technicians for private companies and universities; (6) natural resources conservationists and agents for other governmental agencies; (7) county agricultural extension agents; (8) field representatives for sugarbeet or food processing companies; (9) farm managers; (10) farm insurance agents; (11) research associates with private plant breeding companies; and (12) persons involved in the reclamation of strip-mined land.

Extractions: Soil and water are our most important resources. They provide the food, fiber and foundation of our existence. Soil science is the study of the soil as a component of natural and man-made systems. Soil science is the key factor in food production and is at the forefront of environmental and natural resource issues such as land use, soil contamination, ground water quality and waste disposal. Soil science is an earth science that combines the studies of the atmosphere, surface and subsurface waters, mineral earth deposits and biological ecosystems. This natural science emphasizes the real world applications of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Each student designs their own program according to his or her personal abilities, interests, and career goals. Soil science graduates gain an appreciation of agriculture production, environmental concerns and natural resource issues. Research in the Department of Soil Science is cutting edge. Several faculty lead the nation and world in environmental earth sciences, wetlands and soil fertility. This research expands our understanding of pollutant movement in soils, the maintenance and reconstruction of wetland habitats, and the production of crops from soybeans to sugar beets.

A problem-solving "capstone course" that integrates knowledge gleaned from a diversity of courses is required for each degree. All senior undergraduate students participate in a seminar course to prepare them for job-seeking and professional performance in their careers or continued studies.
