Program Summary
Agronomy is the science and practice of crop production and soil management. It focuses on understanding the interactions between plants, soil, climate, and human activities to optimize agricultural productivity while ensuring sustainability. The course covers various aspects, including soil science, plant physiology, genetics, crop protection, and agroecology. Students learn how to improve crop yields, enhance soil fertility, manage pests and diseases, and implement modern farming techniques. Agronomy integrates principles from biology, chemistry, and environmental science to address challenges like climate change, food security, and sustainable resource use. It also involves practical training in fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and agricultural technology. Graduates can pursue careers in farming, research, agribusiness, environmental conservation, and agricultural policy-making.
