Objectives of Education
Horticultural commodities play an very important role not only in rural economics, but also in fresh foods that provide natural nutrient sources to humans. The Horticulture consists of six programs, horticultural crop breeding, greenhouse horticulture, pomology, ornamental horticulture, plant propagation and environmental plant physiology. Our goal is to provide opportunities as horticultural specialists in horticultural industries and research institutes. To meet our goal, the courses focus on plant (post-harvest) physiology, genetics, environmental physics, in vitro culture, cultural systems, and ornamental plant science. The students in this field can obtain experiences by solving practical and theoretical questions in the field, greenhouse, and/or laboratory using molecular genetics and breeding, in vitro culture, soilless culture, greenhouse climate control system, and ornamental horticulture.
