Major introduction

The science of vegetables from seed to table, making them tastier, more nutritious, and more disease-resistant. It is the core of the modern agricultural 'vegetable basket' project.

Program overview

Vegetable Science is an important discipline under the category of agronomy, primarily studying the growth and development patterns of vegetable crops, variety breeding, cultivation techniques, pest and disease control, and post-harvest processing. This program aims to cultivate senior specialized talents with capabilities in vegetable production, scientific research, and management. Core courses include Vegetable Cultivation, Vegetable Breeding, Vegetable Pathology, Vegetable Entomology, Vegetable Physiology, Protected Horticulture, and Postharvest Biology of Vegetables. Research directions encompass innovation in vegetable germplasm resources, efficient cultivation models, intelligent management of facility vegetables, vegetable quality regulation, and green pest control technologies. Through theoretical learning and practical operations, students acquire knowledge of the entire industry chain from seed to table, providing technical support for the sustainable development of the modern vegetable industry.

Major prospects
