For three decades, we've gained deeper insights into how farming practices affect surrounding water and air quality. Numerous research and outreach initiatives focusing on agriculture, environmental quality, and buffer zones have grown into vital parts of the Crop and Soil Sciences Department's central objectives.
Our faculty specializing in crop, forage, and turfgrass systems examine biological processes influencing plant development, stress responses to extreme weather, pests, and air contaminants, along with the chemical foundations of these interactions. Their investigations span nutrient absorption and distribution, water management in plants, defensive chemical production, growth regulation mechanisms, and all stages of plant development from germination to reproduction.
Researchers have access to diverse settings for experiments, from outdoor fields to controlled environments like the NCSU Phytotron. These resources are supported by comprehensive laboratory equipment capable of analyzing plants at every scale - from entire organisms down to molecular components.
