Modern Agricultural Technology

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Modern agricultural technology is a discipline related to agricultural science. Biotechnology, new materials, and information technology are widely used in modern agricultural technology, which enables the profession to present a new look on the basis of maintaining traditional characteristics. 

Modern agricultural technology mainly studies the construction of agricultural facilities, agricultural production, and the use and maintenance of agricultural machinery.

Modern agricultural technology is also called modern agricultural science and technology. Modern agricultural technology studies a variety of modern high-tech integrated agricultural systems. The characteristics of modern agricultural technology are integrated modernization engineering technology, satellite remote sensing telemetry technology, information technology, computer technology, etc. Modern agricultural technology has enabled agriculture to be mechanized and electrified. Agricultural technology has entered a scientific process. People's ability to predict and regulate nature has increased, and agricultural labor productivity has increased significantly.

Modern agricultural technology graduates have broad employment prospects. They can engage in scientific research in agricultural colleges and research institutes, as well as in farms, seed companies, agricultural technology promotion departments, agricultural enterprises, state agencies and other units.

What can modern agricultural technology graduates do?

1. Agricultural scientist

Choosing to become an agricultural scientist requires further study. Masters degree in modern agricultural technology can help you get the job better. Agricultural scientists conduct field-based or laboratory-based research to improve the detection and quality control of crop production, environmental protection, food, medicines and agricultural products. Agricultural scientists care about all aspects of plants and animals. They are committed to improving crop production, protecting the environment, and working on the detection and quality control of food, medicines and agricultural products.

2. Plant pathologists

Plant pathologists are scientists who focus on the dynamic processes in plant health. Their work is more focused on research. Plant pathologists study and treat plant diseases and their control in a variety of climates, geographic regions and different soils. Plant pathologists improve crops and cultivation methods through plant pathology studies. They are also involved in the development of crops that are resistant to pests, droughts and plant diseases. In modern agricultural technology courses, students are able to fully understand the characteristics of this profession and help them to better pursue this profession.
