Keeping aside ABM, there is a general difference between PGDM and MBA. PGDM is provided by an independent college affiliated to AICTE and not to any university. MBA is provided by those colleges which are affiliated to a university. For example, FMS in Delhi provides MBA because it is affiliated to Delhi University and IMT in Ghaziabad provides PGDM as it is an independent college without any affiliation. Moreover, PGDM is a Diploma while MBA is a degree. However, there is not much difference in the course curriculum between the two. Also, if a PGDM providing college is approved by AIU as well apart from AICTE accreditation, PGDM is considered to be equivalent to MBA. Both ABM and MBA in agribusiness management are same, it's just the degree difference offered by different colleges.
