Agronomy is the pioneer department in the Faculty of Agriculture
when agriculture classes started in Gomal University, D.I.Khan
since 1982. The department’s goal is to provide state of the art
education to our students while training work force to tackle
food security of the nation is also an objective of the
department. The faculty and staff of the department are devoted
to excellence in education with the aims to deliver quality
academic training including teaching, research and outreach in
the areas of crop production, physiology, stress, ecology &
environment, seed technology & physiology, plant nutrients
management, drought & resource management, arid culture,
allelopathy, weed science etc. The students are offered
specialized courses leading to Bachelor's, Master's and
Doctorate degrees in Agronomy. A large open and lab experimental
area is devoted to conduct problem oriented research at graduate
and post-graduate levels. The entire faculty of Agronomy
Department has Ph.D. as well as Post Doc. from developed
countries of the world which ensures high standards of teaching,
research and outreach activities. Moreover, Agronomy Department
ranked first in terms of impact factor research publications in
the university.
The latest innovation of the Agronomy Department is starting
M.Sc. Botany Program on Regular/Self Finance basis. The study of
plant has an importance for a number of reasons. Plants are a
fundamental part of life on earth and good source of oxygen,
food, fiber, fuel as well as medicine that allow higher life
forms to exist. It is believed that evolution of plants has
changed the global atmosphere of the earth. A good understanding
of plants is crucial to the future of human societies. To
achieve these intentions, there is a dire need to initiate such
program which hadn’t been started over here, since the start of
Gomal University.
