The Laboratory of Plant Production Science provides students with advanced knowledge and skills in fields related to the qualitative and quantitative improvement of plant production based on expertise in plant physiology, ecology, and genetics as well as soil science. Th goal is to teach how to achieve a sound material cycle and ensure local resource management.
This course aims to cultivate talent capable of laying the foundations for agricultural and livestock business by helping students develop knowledge and skills in soil management for better crop production, in the breeding and cultivation of cash crops and feed crops, in pest control, and in grassland uses.
Degree: Master of Agriculture
