Ph.D. in Agriculture with a specialization in Soil Science typically requires 3 to 5 years of study beyond a master's degree. This program focuses on advanced research in soil chemistry, microbiology, fertility, and conservation, preparing students to address critical agricultural challenges. Candidates engage in fieldwork and laboratory experiments to study soil properties, analyze nutrient management practices, and explore sustainable agricultural systems. The program culminates in a dissertation based on original research that contributes to the scientific understanding of soil ecosystems and their role in agricultural productivity. Graduates often pursue careers in academia, research institutions, or agricultural consultancy.
