Crop Sciences is the study of food plants from seed to harvest. In this field a lab technician might need a green thumb as well as an affinity for science and research. Bacteria, molds, insects, weeds, and weather are just a few of the many factors that influence the health and productivity of a crop. Breeding and analyzing new varieties of crop plants can lead to better production yields for primary producers. Working as a Crop Sciences Laboratory Technician may mean working anywhere from a government lab testing plant varieties to a private chemical company creating herbicide-resistant species.
