The School of Agriculture at Lovely Professional University (LPU) takes a scientific approach to both agriculture and pedagogy. The curricula here are benchmarked against IOWA State University and PURDUE University of USA. Providing high quality research education for a wide range of agriculture programs, each course includes extensive hands on learning. This is facilitated through crop production on the vast lands of the university, nursery raising for horticulture crops, crop and seed identification lab, soil and water sampling/analysis, soil description/interpretation lab, manure identification lab, and vegetable crop production lab. No effort is spared to develop well informed leaders of the agriculture field.
Once, agriculture relied heavily on harmful chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides, leaving that trend behind, LPU Department of Agriculture has undertaken the production and promotion of organic farming yields, on the campus. Hundreds of its students are involved in this endeavor. They are learning healthy, sustainable farming practices and witnessing how organic agriculture enriches the soil and increases the long-term yield, nutrient value and potency of crops, season by season. LPU Agriculture students are also learning Green House (Poly House) production, Tissue culture, Collection of Plasma, usage of natural resources and compost, and floriculture. Most importantly they are learning to be entrepreneurs who know how to get the best out of the smallest piece of land, and leave it even more enriched.
