##What is Crop Science and Biotechnology Course?
Crop Science is the study and management of crops, encompassing their selection, improvement, production, protection, and post-harvest handling to meet human needs. Biotechnology applies scientific tools and techniques to modify living organisms, with agricultural biotechnology specifically using genetic engineering, molecular markers, and tissue culture to improve crops for desired traits like yield, disease resistance, and nutritional content
