- INDEX
The Practical Course BOT. 102 (P) based on theory course BOT-101 T-Applied Aspects of Plant Sciences (NEP2020) is to equip students with hands-on training experience is using essential laboratory instruments and equipments. This course material will provide students with thorough understanding of the theory course material from plant Biotechnology – to agricultural techniques to plant microbe interactions to post-harvest technology, plant disease management to environmental applications of plant sciences for sustainable development. The practical course work will train the students in handling instruments, microbial cultures, agricultural techniques, organic farming techniques, handling kitchen waste to transform into best fertilizer organic manure. Post-harvest technology will understand you some beautiful techniques to prepare something commercial food product that you will love the practical work in the Botany and visit report will train you how to write and submit reports.
This practical book is written in most simple style that students can do this practical course work material by their own way. Every care has been taken to introduce all the practicals with most standard protocol followed by research laboratories. This will train the students for Botany practicals and will love the botany subject whole heartedly.
