Description

The Manual of Agronomic Practices and Field Applications (V-1) has been designed to serve as a comprehensive hands-on guide for students, instructors, and practitioners of agricultural sciences. It systematically covers essential field operations such as tillage, seedbed preparation, seed treatment, sowing methods, nutrient and water management, weed control, cropping systems, and harvesting techniques with clear step-by-step procedures. Each exercise is presented with defined objectives, required materials, detailed methodology, observation formats, and practical learning outcomes to facilitate easy understanding and field-level application.

The manual emphasizes experiential learning through illustrations, field calculations, and real-time problem-solving approaches, enabling learners to correlate theoretical concepts with actual farm practices. It adheres to the latest ICAR and SAU syllabus standards, making it suitable for undergraduate, diploma, and vocational agriculture courses. This manual not only develops technical skills but also promotes scientific temper and sustainable agronomic thinking among learners.
