Plant Science also known as Botany or Plant biology or Phytology is a branch of science that deals with plant life and scientists who specialise in this field are known as Plant scientists or Phytologists or botanists. The scope of the plant science ranges from designing innovative molecular techniques like genetic engineering to ecological research in the discipline of plant science. Application of innovative techniques in farming helps in development of more disease-resistant and pest-resistant species of plants with better crop productivity.
