Agricultural Science

[one_half]

Agricultural Science is one of the Senior Sciences which students study in 5^th and 6^th year at Davitt College.   The subject was introduced to Davitt College in 2009, and has grown from strength to strength since, with two timetabled classes in both 5^th and 6^th year.

The subject is a subject based around the everyday workings on Irish farms.   It encompasses every aspect of the farm, but also the science behind a lot of the farmer’s work.   The following areas are covered:

1)      Animal Science

2)      Soil Science

3)      Root & Tillage crops

4)      Grassland

5)      Animal production

6)      Plant Science

7)      Agriculture and the Environment

8)      Genetics & Breeding

 

There is a project, which is worth 25% of the overall mark.   This is covered from September to December of 6^th year.

Agricultural Science is also fully recognised by all Third Level Institutes as a Leaving Certificate Science subject.
