Soil plays a vital role in the formation and continuation of life of most
living things as well the soil itself can be regarded as a complete living
environment. Actually, all living systems directly or indirectly depend on
soil.
Since Jiroft is an area with a rich agricultural background, and due to the
importance of soil in nature and agriculture, and in order to develop soil
knowledge, Department of Soil Science at University of Jiroft started its
educational and research activities in 2011.
Later, in 2012, the Department of Soil Science started admitting Master Students
in two sub-disciplines of “Fertility Management and Soil Biotechnology” and “Soil
Resource Management”. At present, this department has two laboratory spaces for
its educational and research purposes and use by students and faculties.
