Agricultural Science provides a complete foundation for understanding how modern farming systems function and how scientific principles support healthier crops, stronger soil, and more sustainable food production. This course introduces learners to the essentials of plant growth, soil behaviour, seed enhancement, mineral nutrition, and the impact of heavy metals and environmental stress on agricultural productivity. Each topic is presented in a clear, practical way to help learners build real confidence in applying scientific knowledge to real-world challenges.

You’ll explore the basics of seed invigoration, germination strategies, and the conditions that affect seed priming, including moisture, temperature, and pH balance. The course also guides you through soil fertility factors, how nutrient availability changes over time, and the role of parasitic plants in reducing crop yield. Learners gain an in-depth understanding of plant–soil interactions and the influence of uncommon heavy metals and metalloids on plant health, allowing them to make informed decisions that improve agricultural outcomes.

Every module is designed to build transferable skills that can be used in farming, research, agribusiness, food production, and environmental management. By the end, you will be able to evaluate soil conditions, interpret plant responses, enhance seed performance, and apply scientific methods to support more efficient and sustainable cultivation practices.

All students receive a free course completion certificate, and those who wish can upgrade to multiple premium certificate and transcript options for professional use. You will also enjoy 5-star rated, 24/7 email support throughout the course.
