What is Agronomy
Agronomy, The term is derived from the
Greek word “agros” meaning “Field” and
”nomos” meaning “to manage”
Definition: Agronomy is the management of
field to provide favorable environment to
the crops for increasing the productivity
Father of Agronomy : PETER DECRENZI

SCOPE OF AGRONOMY
 Yield maximization with introduction of
new cultivars
 Reduce cost of production due to proper
crop management
 Better water use efficiency due to
agronomic knowledge
 Special tillage and intercultural operations
for better crop growth and maximizing
harvesting index

Major Principles of Agronomy
 Agrometerology : study of climate factors
in related to agriculture
 Soil & Tillage: Tillage is the agricutural
preparation of the soil by ploughing,
ripping , or turning.
 Soils & water conservation: water
conversation refers to reducing the usage
of water and recycling of water and
recycling of waste water for different
purpose like cleaning, manufacturing
 Dry land Agriculture: Dry land farming is
an agricultural technique for cultivating
land which receives little rainfall.
 Weed Management: Management to
 unwanted plant in field.

AGRONOMY DEFINITION
 Concepts: Agronomy is considered as the mother
or primary branch of agriculture. Like agriculture ,it
is nothing but an integrated and applied aspect of
different disciplines of pure sciences.
 Branches: There distinct branches-
I. Crop Science(mainly filed crops)
II. Soil Science:- (Agronomy thus denotes activities
on the ground to raise outspread a noble crops to
obtain massive yields)
III. Environmental Science:- (That deals with applied
aspects.)

FUNDAMENTAL AGRONOMY
Agronomic principles are the ways and means for the better
management of soil , plant and environment for economically
maximum returns per unite area for years.
The Basic Principles of agronomy rationale listed below:-
 Planning programming
I. Choice of proper crop
II. Proper field
III. Choice of Quality
IV. Proper water

PRINCIPLES OF AGRONOMY
1. Agrometerology:-Study of climatic factors related
of agriculture.
2. Soils & Tillage :-Tillage is the agricultural
preparation of the soil by ploughing ,ripping or
turning it.
3. Dry land Agriculture & Water conservation:-Water
conservation refers to reducing the usage of
water.
4. Mineral Nutrition of plants, Manures & Fertilizers:-
Plant nutrition is the study chemical elements that
are necessary for plant growth.
5. Cropping & Farming systems
