Soil, Plant and Water Sciences

Plant and Agro Sciences

Plant and agro sciences are integral fields focused on enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability through the study of plant biology and the application of scientific principles to farming practices. Plant biology explores the physiological, genetic, and ecological aspects of plants, providing insights into their growth, development, and response to environmental conditions. This knowledge is crucial for developing improved crop varieties and understanding plant interactions with their environment. Agroecology applies ecological principles to agricultural systems, aiming to create sustainable farming practices that balance productivity with environmental stewardship. This includes promoting biodiversity, improving soil health, and optimizing resource use.
