Subject of Agriculture in B.SC level
People have a lot of confusion about this. They think agriculture means farming only. It is an old concept. Recent concept has changed! Now Agriculture means not only farming, but it’s all about farming also! As an example,You are studying agriculture it doesn’t mean that you have to study about farming, you have to study about all the factors, involved in agriculture i.e Soil, Climate, General Biology including Genetics and livestock.
Horticulture is another subject of agriculture that leads to grow & all-round development of fruit crops. Although there is another course called ‘Horticulture’ that is little different than Agriculture although demand of that course is high also.
