What are the different branches of agriculture????

Question

like the study of plants, animals, and many more

Answer 1

Dont forget about mechanics, aqua culture, fish.

ag lawyer, researchers

GMO's - geneticaly modafied organisms.

But deff. the forgotten ones are mechanics -tractors ect and

Fish and marine animals- aquaculture

Answer 2

Agriculture itself is quiet broad term which encompasses lots of branches, viz.

Agronomy- cultivation of plants

horticulture (pomology, floriculture, vegetable science)

entomology- deals wid insects and pests

plant pathology

plant breeding & genetics

Agriculture biochemistry

soil science

plant biotechnology

agricultural extension

Agril. economics

nematology

plant physiology

agril statistics

Answer 3

Answer 4

Broad Question. Be easier if you simplified it but here i go.

Agronomy :

Poultry science: deals with chickens and turkeys

Agriculture: Ornamental plants

Horticulture: Anything doing with plants really

Soil Science: Study of the soil

Crop Science: Improving existing crops like "Roundup (TM)  Read crops"

Swine Production: Hogs and pigs

Beef Production: Cows raised for their meat;

Dairy Production: Raised for their milk (Goats and Cows)

well the list is long Agriculture is anything that deals with Production Plants or animals and the supporting pratices (like the machinery or development)

Answer 5

Well the study of plants and animals falls under biology in a broad sense. Plants can further fit into the category of botany. At my college if you studied animals it was called animal science.

I've always understood agriculture to be the production of food, or feed, or fuel, or other goods by raising animals and plants in a systematic, controlled process.

Branches of agriculture I guess could be what a particular farms raises and what for.

Answer 6

Botany studies plant growth, entomology looks at insects,

soil science figures out the best use of soils and how to maintain healthy soil, chemistry comes up with fertilizers and fungicides and herbicides, microeconomics studies the cost effectiveness of agriculture and marketing, animal husbandry is the science of genetics to improve breeds of cattle,

engineering devises better machinery, and so on.

I hope that helps.

Answer 7

arable farming is growing crops.

The other activity is rising stock

Answer 8

Study of plants: Botany

Study of Animals: Zoology

Being more specific

Acarology:the study of ticks and mites

Agrostology:the study of grasses

Apiology:the study of bees

get the rest from the source

Answer 9

animal science breaks down into tons of thing, floriculture, landscaping, forestry, aquaculture, natural resources, mechanics, plus a ton more... threre are lot more things in ag than just animals and plants
