Course Overview
Students graduate with the qualitative and quantitative skills necessary for professional research and teaching in one or more of the following areas: agro, ecology, crop improvement; postharvest handling of horticultural commodities; and the production, management and utilization of horticultural and agronomic plants. Horticultural crop production (fruits and nuts, grapes, ornamentals, and vegetables) in California exceeds $10 billion annually. Agronomic crop production (grains, forages, and fiber crops) is valued at approximately $4 billion annually. UC Davis plays a major role in solving problems of the horticultural and agronomic industries throughout the state, the nation and the world. Increased population growth in California and the world present important challenges. Faculty in the Graduate Group in Horticulture & Agronomy are involved in research aimed at solving these problems and enhancing our urban environment.
