  • Conduct research in breeding, physiology, production, yield, and management of crops and agricultural plants or trees, shrubs, and nursery stock, their growth in soils, and control of pests; or study the chemical, physical, biological, and mineralogical composition of soils as they relate to plant or crop growth. May classify and map soils and investigate effects of alternative practices on soil and crop productivity.

  • Conduct research into the use of plant species as green fuels or in the production of green fuels.
  • Conduct research to determine best methods of planting, spraying, cultivating, harvesting, storing, processing, or transporting horticultural products.
  • Consult with engineers or other technical personnel working on construction projects about the effects of soil problems and possible solutions to these problems.
  • Develop environmentally safe methods or products for controlling or eliminating weeds, crop diseases, or pests.
  • Develop improved measurement techniques, soil conservation methods, soil sampling devices, or related technology.
  • Develop new or improved methods or products for controlling or eliminating weeds, crop diseases, or insect pests.
  • Investigate responses of soils to specific management practices to determine the use capabilities of soils and the effects of alternative practices on soil productivity.
  • Research technical requirements or environmental impacts of urban green spaces, such as green roof installations.

  • Collaborate with technical specialists to resolve design or development problems.
  • Prepare scientific or technical reports or presentations.
