Insect Chemical Ecology
Many ecological interactions are mediated by chemicals. Topics of study at the University of Idaho include the discovery and application . . .
Composting Sugar Beet Tare Dirt
When sugar beets are processed, the "tare" soil adhering to their roots adds up to millions of tons worldwide and creates a difficult disposal problem.
Pomology Program
The Idaho fruit industry is an old and growing industry. Southwest Idaho has excellent climatical conditions for growing apples, peaches, plums, apricots, cherries and grapes.
Soil Biology & Biochemistry
The study of organisms and biomolecules in soil. Topics of study include: microbial ecology and plant-microbe interactions, pesticide degradation, soil organic matter cycling, allelochemical fate and activity, and microbial contributions to nutrient cycling.
