Introduction

01. - Agriculture, agriculture operations and related sciences

This series comprises instructional programs that focus on agriculture and related sciences and that prepare individuals to apply specific knowledge, methods, and techniques to the management and performance of agricultural operations.

01.12 - Soil sciences

This subseries comprises instructional program classes 01.1201 to 01.1299.

01.1201 - Soil science and agronomy, general

This instructional program class comprises any program that generally focuses on the scientific classification of soils, soil properties, and their relationship to agricultural crops. These programs include courses in soil chemistry, soil physics, soil biology, soil fertility, morphogenesis, mineralogy, hydrology, agronomy, and soil conservation and management.
