ABOUT THE BOOK

Very often we ignore or miss the basic knowledge or information on which the multi-storeyed, multidisciplinary approach of crop production stands. It is strenuous strive to keep pace with the progress of such a vast subject like agronomy which is in practice throughout the world. Efforts have been made in this textbook to collect and collate new concepts of agronomy into a somewhat single unit understandable to the undergraduate students and useful as a remedial course to the workers and scientist of agriculture and allied disciplines.

All our strains will be worthy if the text containing basic concepts and scope  of agronomy, classification of crops, sowing and planting, crop growth and development, tilth and tillage, nutrient management, weed management, irrigation and water management, organic farming, crop rotations and cropping systems concisely dealt in separate chapters becomes helpful for whom this is made. The book will be very helpful for B.Sc. Agriculture students throughout the country as it covers nearby the entire syllabus for Agronomy courses framed by ICAR as suggested by 6^th Dean’s Committee.
