Without crop protection yields fall, food prices rise and maintaining food production levels requires more land which is hard t come by. Science, research and innovation offers the only prospect to develop and apply modern crop protection techniques while observing the challenges of natural resources conservation.
This BSc in Crop Protection program at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology(JKUAT) is aimed at equiping our young scientists with relevant modern skills for research and crop protection from pests, diseases, weeds and other non-pathogenic related problems.
The knowledge and skills acquired by the BSc Crop Protection graduates from JKUAT will be utilised in their endeavours to improve and increase the amount of food production and food sustainability for our ever increasing human population.
