ENV 1100Environmental Science (3 credits)3
A study of environmental science emphasizing the impact that an increasing human population has on the biosphere. The course deals specifically with the demands placed by humans on natural resources and the resulting acceleration of environmental deterioration, human attitudes toward the environment, and techniques and policies by which resources could be intelligently managed. Does not fulfill a BIO major elective and does not count in the calculation of the major GPA. Lecture.

ENV 3250Plant Cropping and Weed Management (4 credits)4
This course will explore the differences between crops and cropping, cropping seasons, plant growth and development, and principles of sustainable weed management for croplands. It will define and discuss the different agronomic/field crops and the concepts of multiple cropping and intercropping as a sustainable method to maintain nutrient levels in the soil while increasing crop yield. Concurrently, it will emphasize sustainable cropping systems that prevent weed problems, rather than using quick-fix approaches. Alternatives to conventional tillage systems, including allelopathy, intercropping, crop rotations, and a weed-free cropping design.
