The Agronomy Practical Manual (Agron 1.1) for B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture first-semester students provides practical exposure to the fundamentals of agronomy. It includes exercises such as visits to instructional farms, identification of field crops, seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides, and understanding cropping systems across agro-climatic zones. Students gain hands-on training in the use of tillage implements and perform calculations related to seed rate, plant population, and fertilizer requirements. The manual also emphasizes methods of yield estimation, growth and yield attributes of major crops, and systematic identification of weeds. Practical sessions on seed germination and viability testing enhance knowledge of seed quality evaluation. Further, it explains methods of applying manures and fertilizers, including broadcasting, placement, foliar application, and fertigation. Soil moisture measurement techniques using tensiometers, neutron moisture meters, and pressure plate apparatus are also described. Overall, the manual bridges theoretical learning with field practice, fostering skills in crop production, resource management, and sustainable agriculture.
