What is agriculture science?

Question

In coledge im taking chemistry i would like organic chemistry but i dont really know where to find that. Does agriculture sciences help in growing plants, what is it used for.?

Answer 1

yes including work in virus resistant plants, and more uniformed produce... the trade of here is that you often lose the flavor... ever tasted a perfect looking apple

Answer 2

Don't all the Smart stewdents hang around the Coledge Lieberry?

FYI, ChiliPecker is a Dicock.

But seriously,

If you are interested in growing plants,

in the field or in containers?

The universities you look at may have depts of Ag Sci, Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Plant Pathology and others.

Ag. Sci covers plant and animal sci.,

also mechanical equipment, chemical use

A chemistry background would be useful to understand chemicals and biochemicals in the soil, fertilizers, herbicides etc.

Just depends on what you want to specialize in or grow.

Answer 3

Organic chemistry is chemistry that relates to carbon bonds... as in the petroleum and plastics industries.

Bio-chemistry is chemistry as it relates to living organisms, as bio-physics is physics of living things.

My Alma mater was a university that grew from an agricultural and veterinary colleges, so that we had those as community college level plus university degree courses.

Agricultural science degree was a BSc  with an honours major in Agricultural applications of science, but also required some courses in economics as they related to agriculture.

I worked as a lab assistant, serving our community college section, while I was in a general BSc stream. They had to make it as scientists as well as learning the applications to agriculture... things like the chemistry and physics of the soil... not primarily organic chemistry because most of the soil is not organic chemistry.

In this case, organic chemistry is a totally unrelated use of the word organic as compared to organic farming.

Answer 4

I see here a young man in "coledge" with not much sense of grammar, spelling or sentence structure. He is interested in taking organic chemistry because he has an interest in organic agriculture. I see a quick future at McDonald's flipping hamburgers. Oh yes, I almost forgot, his nickname is Smart.

Answer 5

agric science has a broad base inc plant biology , the chemisty of fertilisers etc and some physics to do with mechanised plant and machinery (city and guilds and national certificate in agriculture holder )

Answer 6

Agriculture is the basic scinece of this word, agriculture is the basic source of food for human, animals etc. Agriculture Science provides suffient knowledge about crops and farming system, it help human to improve the quality and quantity of the food for the beneficial of human

Answer 7

plants and life
