Undergraduate training programs leading to degrees in pharmacology or toxicology do not exist on most university campuses. Agricultural science students who may ultimately use large quantities of herbicides, pesticides, and other agricultural products may obtain degrees without any exposure to the disciplines of pharmacology or toxicology; some reasons for this are discussed. The design and implementation of some courses suited to the qualifications of most undergraduate agricultural science majors are outlined. In general, a blend of lectures, discussions, and student presentations facilitates adequate presentation of the course material. Specific suggestions for student term projects are mentioned. Some of the available textbooks suitable for undergraduate courses of this type are very briefly discussed. It is suggested that in order to educate nonacademic users of agricultural chemicals, pharmacologists and toxicologists may have to work closely with both industry and those closer to the agricultural community such as county agricultural extension agents and farm youth organizations.
大多数大学校园里不存在授予药理学或毒理学学位的本科培训项目。最终可能会大量使用除草剂、杀虫剂和其他农产品的农业科学专业学生，在没有接触过药理学或毒理学学科的情况下就可能获得学位；文中讨论了造成这种情况的一些原因。概述了一些适合大多数本科农业科学专业学生资质的课程的设计与实施。总体而言，讲座、讨论和学生展示相结合有助于充分呈现课程材料。文中提到了学生学期项目的具体建议。简要讨论了一些适用于此类本科课程的现有教科书。有人建议，为了教育农业化学品的非专业使用者，药理学家和毒理学家可能必须与行业以及更贴近农业社区的人员密切合作，如县农业推广人员和农场青年组织。
