Education and Career Forum

Hi everyone, I want to study Horticulture in my BSc. But my parents are telling me that Agriculture has more scope. They are suggesting me to do BSc with Agriculture. I would like to know that which one is better to study? Please tell me immediately.

I would like to suggest you to pursue that degree in which you are truly interested because that will be fruitful for you in the future.
Concerning the scope of agriculture in India, the field has more scope in comparison to other subjects. It consists of numerous subjects including agronomy, soil science, plant pathology, entomology, microbiology, Agroforestry, Horticulture, agricultural economics, seed technology of plant Genetics, plant biotechnology etc.

Horticulture basically deals with Garden and other possible crops which includes fruits, vegetables, flour, spices etc.

Horticulture is also included in agriculture.

As per my suggestion, you should go for a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture course rather than B.Sc in Horticulture.
