Online PhD in Entomology         

Phd in entomology is a 3-year duration doctoral-level Program. Agricultural entomology unit centered to beneficial arthropods found in agroecosystem that provide to ecosystem services such as biological control & pollination. The study of insects in relation to humans & their effect on the environment connect with the Agricultural Entomology program. During the study, time student introduces to insect systematics & biological diversity, insect ecology and integrated pest control, insect biochemistry & molecular biology. The course provides knowledge of life science, agronomy, horticulture & plant protection with the latest theory of biological technology. Students also gain advanced knowledge in entomology, & have an overall & methodical understanding of advanced research in the field. The Program syllabus is divided in 6 semesters. Various colleges & universities offered PhD in Agricultural Entomology Program because of its demand & importance. The program syllabus includes in the education may be responsible for teaching courses, mentoring graduate students, grading exams, designing lab activities, supervising student research, & pursuing their own research goals.
