Is the major of plant protection good?

This major belongs to agriculture. My friend told me that it was not very good. His major is hard to find. Few people will study this major now. Let's learn some shortcomings of this major.

Personal feeling

Personally, I think this major does not have much market, and it is still an agricultural major with low competitiveness, because few people choose this major, and the future development direction is scientific research. Besides, there is basically no other job demand, especially the employment prospects of undergraduate graduates are narrow. I feel that students' further education is more important than employment, so the quality of enterprises recruited every year is not mentioned.

main content

Plant protection mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of agricultural biology, agricultural ecology, the occurrence and development law of agricultural pests and their comprehensive management technology, and carries out the identification, monitoring, prevention and management of plant pests.

In addition to the above contents, this major also needs to learn the eradication of some plant weeds, the prevention and control of agricultural disasters such as locusts and epidemics, and the detection and analysis of pesticide residues in agricultural products, which is also difficult to learn.

Professional courses

The main courses of plant protection specialty are: plant quarantine, agricultural mites, weed identification, agricultural pathogens, virology, physical agriculture, biostatistics, crop science, general genetics, agrometeorology, microbiology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic analytical chemistry, college physics, statistics, introduction to computers, C language programming, botany, zoology and so on.

My friend told me that they have a lot of courses in this major, and basically they have to memorize and understand, which is particularly brain-consuming. It is difficult to find a job after graduation, and the salary is very general. Most of the last seniors and sisters continued to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Career prospects

After graduation, students of this major can engage in: plant protection, safety and inspection of agricultural products, safety and inspection of pesticide residues in pollution-free agricultural products, and pesticide processing and management.

Without a good degree in this major, the salary is very low and the work you can do is limited. Some undergraduates are basically employed across majors. In short, the future development path is not optimistic.

Employment position

summary

This major is plant protection, which sounds quite unpopular. If you don't like this aspect, I don't suggest you apply for this major.
