Agriculture is the biggest source of production and employment in rural areas, and it is the key to a successful economy. Agricultural Economics focusses on the management of these processes at farm, provincial, national and international level. It incorporates the study of natural resources, agribusiness,the processing and marketing of agricultural products.
Agricultural extension is the application of scientific research and new knowledge to agricultural practices through farmer education. The field of 'extension' now encompasses a wider range of communication and learning activities organized for rural people by educators from different disciplines, including agriculture.Extension practitioners can be found throughout the world, usually working for government agencies. They are represented by several professional organizations, networks and extension journals.
Zoology is defined as “a branch of agricultural science which deals with principles and practices of field crop production and management of soil for higher productivity.studies the problems of crop production and develops better ways of producing food, feed and fibre.It identify various types of nutrients required by crops, e.g., for long duration rice (150-100–50 kg)
Department of Soil Science researchs in all the major sub-disciplines of Soil Science, which include soil formation and classification (Pedology), soil mapping and land evalution, soil fertility, soil hydrology, remote sensing of soils and soil ecology.It includes learning how to classify soils in the field and compile a land suitability survey to sample soils.and determine soil chemical and physical properties in the field and laboratory and how to interpret the results of the analysis
Genetics is the science of heredity and variation, where genes on chromosomes control traits passed from parents to offspring, with genotype determining phenotype through Mendel’s laws of segregation, independent assortment, and dominance. Variation, linkage, crossing over, and mutation create the raw material for inheritance of both qualitative and quantitative traits.
Agricultural meteorology studies the interaction between weather, climate, and agricultural production, focusing on how atmospheric variables like solar radiation, temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind, and evapotranspiration directly influence crop growth, development, and yield. Its key property is using meteorological data for farm-level decision making through crop-weather calendars, agroclimatic zoning, irrigation scheduling, pest-disease forecasting, and drought/frost management.

Animal husbandry or animal science is an agricultural practice of breeding and raising the livestock.It plays an important role in rural areas because a large number of farmers depend upon it for their livelihood. The scope of animal husbandry is quite good globally. There are many jobs in this field for example – supplying of milk, meat, egg, and wool etc.Animal husbandry, Controlled cultivation, management, and production of domestic animals, including improvement of the qualities considered desirable by humans by means of breeding. Animals raised for utility (e.g., food, fur), sport, pleasure, and research.
Horticulture is the science and art of cultivating garden plants, with floriculture focusing specifically on production of flowering and ornamental crops like cut flowers, potted plants, bedding plants, and foliage for commercial trade, aesthetic use, and value addition through essential oils and dyes. Its key properties include intensive management of protected structures like polyhouses and shade nets, precise control of photoperiod, temperature, humidity, and nutrition to regulate flowering, and post-harvest handling techniques for extending vase life.
