What is B.Sc. in Genetic Plant Breeding?
B.Sc. (Agri.)
Genetics and Plant Breeding or Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture (Genetics and Plant Breeding) is an undergraduate Agriculture course. Plant breeding is the
application of genetics and related sciences to improve cultivated plant
species. It is used to develop new varieties of agronomic, vegetable,
horticultural, and ornamental crops that better meet the needs of modern
living. After completing this degree, you will have gained fundamental
knowledge in plant breeding that may be applied to a range of crops including
annual and perennial horticultural crops, agronomic food and feed crops, and
forestry products. The duration of the course is three years and after its
successful completion, they have many career options.
