Agricultural Technology emphasises the integration of science and technology in agriculture production based on a modern, stable and commercialised agriculture of today. The field covers molecular biology, agricultural genetic engineering, plant in vitro culture, the use of microbes, biofertilisers and plant-microbe interaction, controlled environment and automation in agriculture, information and communication technology, precision agriculture, remote sensing and agricultural extension.

The field of agricultural technology is designed to combine various technologies for the improvement of agricultural yield. Among the agricultural technologies involved are farming, remote sensing, agricultural engineering and plant dignostic systems. In addition to improved yields, technology also aims to reduce pollution and optimal use of agricultural inputs.
