Students planting for spring

Freshman agriscience student Jennifer Hilla adds tap water to her seed test pot as part of her germination study.

Twenty-eight freshman agriscience students in Dr. Steve Forsythe's applied agriscience class are "spring planting."

Students are conducting seed germination tests as part of their applied plant production curriculum.

Testing and research includes germination results related to air quality, salinity, moisture and seed coat conditions.

Texas A&M student teacher Linda Meuth is coordinating the research projects.

Javier Renteria, a freshman agriscience student, completes his seed germination test pots for evaluation and reporting.
