Hai, don't get confused see both bsc botany and bsc agriculture are a important fields of science having vast opportunity in career wise. As you already in your second year after one year you will get it's bachelor degree so i will suggest you to carry your bsc botany degree as bsc agriculture has 4 years course you have to spend another years for this. In case of bsc botany u will also get admit in Msc botany section. Instead of choosing bsc agriculture
If you have interest in agriculture you can crack net after msc,go for research in that topic which combined both agriculture and botany field to gether
