4. Agronomy Branch of agriculture deal with the cultivation of crops, forage, food, fiber, oil-seeds, sugar, etc. The primary aim of this branch is to improve food production and cropping techniques. It is the most important branch among all branches of agriculture. It covers vast types of agricultural practices like permaculture, aquaponics, polyhouse farming, etc.

5. Horticulture Branch of agriculture which deal with the plant’s cultivation that is directly used by humans for food, medicine, and aesthetic purposing.

6. Plant Breeding and Genetics Branch of agriculture defined as the art and science of modifying the genetic structure and plant traits to obtain the desired characters.

7. Seed Science The branch deal with the seed structure and growth habitats starting from fertilization, egg development, and growing into a new plant. Seed science is closely related to biochemistry, botany, genetics, and other biosciences. Seed Science

8. Crop-Physiology Crop physiology is the study of the functions and responses of plants grown in different environments. It is one of the most basic fields of agriculture.

9. Plant Pathology Plant pathology deal with the causes of disease, instabilities in plants, and the treatment of plant diseases.

10. Plant Protection Plant protection is a branch of ​​agriculture that aims to prevent damage from disease, insect-pests, and weeds.

11. Soil Science Among several branches of agriculture, soil science is of great significance because of its direct influence on plant growth and nutrient supply. The study of soil as a natural body that is created by natural forces on the surface of the earth on which plants grow. The study of soil properties in relation to soil use and management, soil classification, formation, and mapping of the chemicals, physical, biological, and soil fertility properties, is known as soil science.

12. Entomology Branch of agriculture that studies insects and pests that are important to agriculture.

13. Agricultural Biotechnology Branch of agriculture which includes the application of scientific techniques and tools, involving vaccines, molecular markers, genetic engineering, and tissue culture, to alter the genome of living organisms to develop improved organisms e.g., crops and livestock. In relation to several other fields of agriculture, currently, agricultural biotechnology is of major focus because of its genetic approach. Researchers believe that transgenic crops and animals could be a source to maintain a suitable food supply and fulfill global food needs. agriculture branches

14. Agriculture Engineering Works with agriculture machinery for preparation, sowing, harvesting, and post harvesting operations, counting water and soil protection technologies and bioenergy.

15. Agricultural Economics An applied economic field that studies human behavior with respect to the relation-ship between food and fiber production and distribution.

16. Forestry Forestry is engaged in the extensive cultivation/farming of perennial plants for the supply of rubber, timber, etc. as well as industrial raw-materials.

17. Animal Husbandry Branch of agriculture engaged in the agriculture exercise of breeding and rearing of livestock to provide people with food and energy (drafts) and crop manure.

18. Environtal Science nmeField that mixes biological, physical, and informational science in the study of the environment and solving ecological problems.

19. Food Science and Technology Among known fields of agriculture, food science and technology uses a variety of approaches to study the composition of food, processing, packaging, and selection of existing foods products.

20. Agricultural Chemistry Among branches of agriculture, this specific branch deals with chemistry, particularly organic and bio-chemistry, related to agriculture, production and the raw food processing into desired foods and drinks, and environment restoration.

21. Agricultural Microbiology Branch of agriculture deal with the part micro-biology that deals with microbes linked with diseases of plants and animals. Deal with the study of soil fertility restoring micro-biology e.g., microbial decomposition of organic matters and the conversion of nutrients in the soil.
