The traditional advantage specialty of the college can be traced back to 1936, and it is one of the earliest specialties established in the school. Belonging to the agricultural discipline, awarded the bachelor's degree in agriculture. Since its establishment 72 years ago, it has obvious characteristics: first, it has a clear idea of running a school, always adheres to the concept of combining teaching, scientific research and production, and cultivates advanced agricultural compound talents with "thick foundation, wide caliber, strong ability, high quality and wide adaptability"; Second, the training system is complete. Aiming at the characteristics of strong application and practicality of agronomy specialty, which requires students' professional skills and innovation ability, a complete training system of "three combinations", "three levels" and "two systems" was established: the combination of teaching and scientific research, teaching and production, and teaching and social practice. Three levels: basic practice, professional practice, comprehensive practice and continuous practice for four years. Two systems: undergraduate tutorial system and class teacher system. Third, the accumulation of disciplines is heavy. Since 1970s, agronomy has set up two main directions, namely, crop cultivation and cultivation, crop genetics and breeding. The college's excellent subject resources and strong scientific research strength provide strong support and promotion for the undergraduate teaching of agronomy. Senior students can choose agronomy, tobacco and seeds according to social needs. Fourth, the talent team is excellent. Relying on the advantages of crop science, agronomy focuses on improving the quality of teachers in scientific research and teaching practice, and at the same time, it absorbs excellent doctoral and master graduates into the teaching team, which is developing in the direction of high academic qualifications, high professional titles and youthfulness. At present, agronomy specialty has developed into an advantageous specialty which has great influence among similar majors in China and matches with key disciplines.
This major trains compound high-quality agricultural scientific and technological talents with solid basic theoretical knowledge and basic skills in crop production, who are competent in scientific research, technology popularization, development and popularization and agricultural management in crop cultivation, improved seed cultivation, seed production and tobacco production. Senior students can choose agronomy direction, tobacco direction and seed direction according to social needs and take relevant courses. Graduates are suitable for employment in agricultural management, agricultural and forestry colleges, agricultural scientific research, agricultural enterprises, tobacco companies, seed companies, agricultural companies and other related departments, engaged in administrative management, technical guidance, achievement transformation, scientific research and teaching, marketing and other work.
Seed science and engineering specialty
Seed science and engineering is a newly established undergraduate major in our school on October 20-0, with a four-year academic system and completed the credits specified in the training program. Those who meet the requirements for a bachelor's degree will be awarded a bachelor's degree in agriculture.

Doctoral tutors account for 16.7%, and master tutors account for 75%.
Seed science and engineering is a new interdisciplinary subject that organically combines the five systems of crop improvement (including grain, economy, vegetables and flowers). ), seed production, seed processing, seed sales and seed management, providing theoretical and technical support for excellent quality and high-quality safe seeds needed for sustainable agricultural development. This major will cultivate students with the basic theories, knowledge and skills of seed science and engineering technology according to the spirit of "Crop Seed Industry is the strategic and basic core industry of the country and the foundation for promoting the long-term and stable development of agriculture and ensuring the national food security" in the Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of Modern Crop Seed Industry [201] No.8; Can comprehensively apply biological science and technology to study the characteristics of plant seeds, the law of life activities and the new technologies of seed production, processing, storage and inspection; Senior seed technicians, seed administrators and senior seed enterprise managers who are engaged in teaching and research, new variety promotion and development, and management in the departments or units related to seed science and engineering technology.
Rural regional development specialty
The major of agricultural extension, which was originally named 1996, was renamed as the major of rural regional development according to the adjustment of the undergraduate professional structure of the Ministry of Education. It belongs to the management discipline and is awarded a bachelor's degree in management.

Since the establishment of the specialty 10, four general main course textbooks have been compiled, namely, Rural Development Planning, Introduction to Modern Science and Technology, Rural Development Research Methods and Introduction to Rural Development, among which Rural Development Planning won the National Excellent Textbook Award in Agricultural Colleges. The provincial online course "Rural Social Survey" was built, and the extracurricular practice base for undergraduates-"Off-season Vegetable Base in Ping Ling, Pingnan County" was established, and the academic forum for undergraduates-"Three to One Forum" was established, and the tutorial system for junior undergraduates was implemented. At present, the specialty of rural regional development has developed into a major with important influence among similar majors in China.
This major trains compound high-quality professionals who have the basic theories, knowledge and skills of rural development and agricultural extension, and can be competent for the planning and development, planning and design, extension and innovation, operation and management, teaching and scientific research of enterprises, extension departments, governments and institutions. Graduates can engage in agricultural extension, administration, teaching and research, information management and information consultation, agricultural and sideline products and agricultural products marketing planning, newspapers and periodicals publishing houses, communication and education, scientific and technological development and services, regional development planning and management, etc.
