This course is divided into four modules: Soil and Water Management, Crop Management, Nutrient Management and Pest Management. Each module contains 3 lessons.  \nLectures are approximately two hours. To maximize learning, students will be expected to spend time reading and studying outside of the recorded lesson.  \nCourse Description Fundamentals in Applied Agronomy is an introductory crops and soils course designed for the practitioner hoping to build their knowledge and skills in the topics that are most needed for a Certified Crop Adviser. Upon completion the learner should have a fundamental knowledge of soil and water, nutrient management, pest management, and crop management. Topics include basic soil physical and biological characteristics, resource conservation, irrigation, drainage, water quality, soil and tissue analysis and interpretation, fertilizers and other nutrient sources, soil pH and liming, pest identification, sampling, and control, cropping systems, planting practices, crop growth and development, harvest, storage, and managing production risk, among many others.  \nThe course is taught using distance education technology, but a variety of practical examples and case situations will be woven into content delivery to maximize understanding and its application in the field. Whether you are personally involved in production agriculture, advising farmers as an agricultural retailer or consultant, a representative for an agricultural business or government agency, or just looking to build your expertise, this course will cover topics that should be of direct interest to you. While this course is not designed to teach a student how to take the Certified Crop Adviser exams or to cover all the topics included in local or International performance objectives, it will complement an individual’s preparation in becoming a Certified Crop Adviser or Certified Professional Agronomist.  \nOptional Resource Materials  \nPreparing for the International CCA Exam [https://store.tfi.org/collections/frontpage/products/preparing](https://store.tfi.org/collections/frontpage/products/preparing)for-the-international-certified-crop-adviser-cca-exam  \nSoil Fertility Manual [https://store.tfi.org/products/soil-fertility-manual-bound-with-cover-1](https://store.tfi.org/products/soil-fertility-manual-bound-with-cover-1)  \nField Crop Scouting Manual (University of Illinois) You may order either the CD version (Product Number CDR880e) or the hard copy (Product Number X880e)—[https://pubsplus.uiuc.edu/](https://pubsplus.uiuc.edu/ For)[ For](https://pubsplus.uiuc.edu/ For) addresses outside of the U.S. you must telephone in your order at (217)333-2007 .  \nPlease note: Much of the required reading for this course will be available from Extension and other publications available free on the Internet (see syllabus on the pages that follow) .  \nQuizzes A ten question quiz will be offered after each lesson which must be passed (7 out of 10 or 70%) in order to move on to the next lesson in the module.
