For that stream, the eligibility is a b.sc in agriculture/horticulture/forestry in some institutes. its not clear to me whether i can apply there having a bachelors degree in botany. please help.

There is no difference. They are synonyms for the same thing. Plant biology, Plant science, Botany.

You can get admission to this course on the basis of your 10+2 marksheet.

No, both are different.
Botany is the study of the physiology, genetics, structure, ecology, classification, distribution and economic importance of plants. Agriculture is the science of farming, comprising cultivation of the soil for growing crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

The duration of both courses is three years.
