The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry is an advanced postgraduate program focused on the physical, chemical, biological, and pedological properties of soil. It examines how soil functions as a natural resource, a growth medium for crops, and a biological filter for environmental conservation. While an undergraduate B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture provides broad exposure across all agricultural disciplines, the M.Sc. in Soil Science delivers specialized technical training in soil fertility, plant nutrition chemistry, soil physics, pedology (genesis, classification, and mapping), land evaluation, and environmental pollution management. Specialists in this discipline bridge ecological conservation and crop productivity by diagnosing soil degradation, formulating balanced fertilization programs, and mitigating soil pollution.
