Plant and Crop Sciences involves the use of the scientific approach to study plants in all their forms and interactions. It includes studying the biological systems, soil, plants, biodiversity, climate, genetics, and field management. Plant Sciences looks into plant morphology, biogeography, classification, histology, physiology, and plant pathology. Crop Sciences looks at ways to improve crop and agricultural productivity and the effective management of pests. In all, the aim of this discipline is to analyze the interaction of plants and crops with the environment that they grow in. Plant and Crop Science is a branch of Agriculture that is multi-disciplinary and draws from other subjects like botany, genetics, environmental science, soil science, and entomology.

Students pursuing a degree in Plant and Crop Sciences will gain both practical and theoretical knowledge in the subject. They will gain relevant knowledge in areas like sustainable agriculture, field crop systems, pest management, seed biology, plant breeding, and genetics. Professionals in this field will be able to use natural resources to produce products like fuel, fiber, and food while protecting and conserving the natural environment. They ensure the growth, development, and quality of plants. Here, technology plays an important role in developing better plants and crops. Thus, students will be given the necessary training and information on how to combine technology and science.
