Ph.D. in Agricultural Botany is a research-intensive degree that focuses on plant science, particularly its applications in agriculture. The curriculum usually lasts 3-5 years and covers topics like plant breeding, crop enhancement, plant physiology, pest control, plant genetics, soil fertility, and sustainable agricultural methods. Students do innovative research to increase agricultural output, strengthen crop resistance, and address issues such as climate change, water shortage, and soil degradation. Graduates of this program can work in academia, agricultural research organizations, biotechnology companies, government agencies, or the agricultural business. Admission typically needs a Master's degree in botany, agricultural sciences, or a similar discipline, as well as strong research skills and knowledge of plant biology and agricultural practices.
