Department of crop (& soil) science


Explanation:
agriculture is too broad ~ applied science
botony is a basic science ~ research science

This depends on some missing context. In the U.S. its usually crop & soil science or plant science. crop science leans towards ag science and plant science leans towards botony.

Based upon the references on Google to Malaysian schools I would say crop science or crop & soil if its apropriate
