Synopsis

Spanish for the Green Industry is written for introductory Spanish courses in Horticulture and Agronomy departments or for introductory Spanish courses in Modern Language departments that service an agricultural student body.

Students will know how to assign and follow up on tasks as well as to correct and praise behavior.
