Agricultural science pack is a Gleba science pack. It is used in labs to research technologies.
The agricultural science pack is subject to spoiling. As science packs lose freshness, the value of research they produce is reduced. This manifests as the pack being consumed faster in labs, which means labs will consume less fresh packs more quickly.
Because of how freshness transfers from ingredients to outputs, players should attempt to craft agricultural science packs from the freshest ingredients possible. Pentapod eggs are always produced with 100% freshness, so as long as science packs are crafted in proximity to egg manufacturing, eggs will likely not be the determining factor in freshness. Manufacturing fresh bioflux is more difficult, as it is produced from two rapidly spoiling products. Eggs however can make up for less fresh bioflux, as the freshness of the ingredients is averaged. A 99% fresh egg and 50% fresh bioflux will yield a 75.5% fresh science pack.
If the player is researching on Nauvis, a fast space platform would be ideal for shipping agricultural science, to minimize freshness losses.
As with other spoilables, higher quality packs have a longer spoil time and thus lose science value more slowly.
