21st Agricultural Research Symposium (AGRES) of Wayamba University of Sri Lanka
View(s):The legendary university, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka which was established on 1st of October 1999 as the 13th national university of Sri Lanka was an affiliated university College in North Western Province, which was known as “Wayamba Mandapaya” of the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. Faculty of Agriculture and Plantation Management (FAPM), which was named as Faculty of Agricultural Sciences was established on the same day in 1999.
Nearly 60% of the Sri Lankan population is directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture-based activities. Therefore, it is much important to do more research on agriculture, to achieve excellence in agricultural education. So FAPM with the support of the university, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka has attempted to achieve success in this area through building magnificent graduates by offering two demanding four-year internal degree programmes, one external degree programme as well maters and doctoral degree programmes.
The “Agriculture Research Symposium”, which is known as the ’AGRES’ was initiated in 2002 and provides a platform for final-year students of B. Sc. (Hons in Agriculture) to present their timely and valuable research findings to stakeholders. This annual research symposium has now become the most well-known highlight of the FAPM academic calendar, since that AGRES provides a forum for researchers to debate and share their findings, the organisation of the event significantly contributes to the development of life skills of undergraduates, which is a critical requirement for their professional success. This year, for the 21st time, the annual Agricultural Research Symposium (AGRES) organised by the Faculty of Agriculture and Plantation Management will be held at the Wayamba University, Makandura premises on 3rd of May 2023. Research findings of more than 100 undergraduates who have done their undergraduate research across high variation of themes, including Precision Agriculture, Agricultural Economics, Biotechnology, Horticulture and Landscape Gardening and Plantation Management will be presented at this forum.
The 21th AGRES remains a unique knowledge-sharing platform in Sri Lanka, since it is the only symposium that disseminates undergraduate research findings as full research publications. This event will be organised by the agricultural undergraduates of FAPM led by Mr. Ravindu Prabhashwara under the direct guidance of Prof. J. C. Edirisinghe, Dean of FAPM and the organising committee with the unwavering support of all academic and non-academic staff members of the faculty. All interested participants are welcome to join this important event to share their experience and knowledge regarding novel research findings of the agriculture sector.
