| Department
of Plant Protection |
| |
| Established: July, 1998. |
- The department of plant protection was started in July, 1998 under the self finance scheme of the university.
|
- There are separate departments of Ag.Entomology and Plant Pathology in the agriculture universities. But here efforts are made to club of both of the departments together so that may get the knowledge of diseases and insect-pest of the crop and transmit to the farmer, it will be helpful.
|
- Department of plant protection have arranged many farmer training programmes on different crop diseases to educate the farmers. Student’s of the plant protection surveying of crops at the field in nearby area and solve the problems of diseases and insect-pest.
