Facilities

Plant Science Laboratory

The Plant Science Laboratory supports teaching, research, and analytical studies related to plant growth, development, physiology, and crop production. The laboratory provides facilities for conducting experiments, sample analyses, and practical training in various aspects of plant sciences.


Tissue Culture Laboratory

The Tissue Culture Laboratory facilitates research and training in plant biotechnology and micropropagation. The laboratory is equipped for the aseptic culture of plant tissues, enabling studies on rapid plant multiplication, germplasm conservation, plant improvement, and the production of disease-free planting materials.


Agronomy Laboratory

The Agronomy Laboratory supports research and practical training in crop production, soil–plant relationships, and resource management. The facility is used for the analysis of plant and soil samples, evaluation of crop performance, and studies related to sustainable agronomic practices and field crop management.


Entomology Laboratory

The Entomology Laboratory provides facilities for the study of insects and their interactions with agricultural ecosystems. The laboratory supports research, identification, and practical training in insect taxonomy, pest management, beneficial insects, and integrated pest management strategies for sustainable crop protection.

Polytunnel

The Polytunnel Facility provides a protected cultivation environment covered with polyethylene film, enabling research and demonstration activities under reduced exposure to external weather conditions. The facility is used for studies on crop production, irrigation management, plant growth, and cultivation practices for vegetables and other high-value crops

Shade House

The Shade House consists of a shade-net-covered structure that provides a partially protected environment by reducing solar radiation and protecting plants from excessive heat and wind. It is primarily used for seedling production, plant propagation, nursery management, and research on crop establishment and growth under moderated environmental conditions.

Research Farm

The Research Farm serves as the principal field-based research and training facility of the Faculty. It provides land resources for the cultivation of field crops and paddy, supporting research, practical training, and demonstrations in crop production, agronomy, soil management, and sustainable agricultural practices. The farm offers students and researchers valuable hands-on experience in real farming environments.

Glasshouse

The Glasshouse Facility provides a semi-controlled environment for conducting plant-related research and educational activities. The structure protects crops from direct exposure to adverse weather conditions while facilitating experiments on plant growth, crop management, and agricultural technologies. The facility is widely used for teaching, student projects, and research requiring a protected growing environment.

Mushroom Unit

The Mushroom Unit supports research, training, and demonstration activities related to mushroom cultivation and production technologies. The facility is used to study substrate preparation, spawn management, cultivation techniques, and post-harvest handling, contributing to the development of sustainable and income-generating agricultural enterprises.

Pest Control Unit

The Pest Control Unit facilitates research and practical training on the identification, monitoring, and management of agricultural pests. The facility supports studies on integrated pest management (IPM), biological control methods, pest ecology, and environmentally sustainable crop protection strategies.

Bee Wall and Apiary

The Bee Wall and Apiary provide facilities for research, training, and demonstrations related to beekeeping and pollination services. The unit supports studies on bee biology, colony management, pollination ecology, and honey production while promoting the importance of pollinators in enhancing agricultural productivity and biodiversity conservation.
