Philosophy
To produce world class students with knowledge in Crop /pasture production with a well balanced education and industrial experience. The graduates must be such that they can be self-reliant in all aspects of crop production, particularly; forage, crop improvement, crop protection, crop processing and agronomy, and the student is tailored to be a job creator and not job seeker with sufficient industrial background to the current need of today’s industry and practice.
Objectives
- To inculcate into our students that crop and pasture production should be viewed and practiced with agro–business inclination.
- To promote professional development of graduates in Agriculture, by providing students with understanding and hands-on experience of different discipline within the realms of crop/pasture production.
- To develop crop varieties that are adaptable to our various biotic and abiotic stresses of the environment.
- To train students who will focus on research and development in crop/pasture production.
- To train students to meet the industrial need and achieve enhanced entrepreneurial skills.
Degrees to be Awarded
- M.AgSE (Crop/Pasture Production and Sustainable Environment)
- PhD. AgSE (Crop Production, Plant Breeding, Seed Technology, Crop Pathology, Crop Protection, Crop Entomology, Pasture Agronomy and Pasture Production).
