Master of Science (M.Sc.) Agriculture – Agronomy

Master of Science in Agriculture – Agronomy is a postgraduate programme devised to equip a footing and scientific knowledge of crop production via adequate field management. It incorporates an in-depth understanding of crop physiology, organic farming, weed science, water & nutrient management, and other related disciplines. Agronomy, or scientific agriculture, applies several soil and plant sciences to soil management and crop production. Modern concepts in drought physiology, herbicides, crop production, and crop production, physiological aspect of crop yield, principles of physiology of crop plants, advanced irrigation agronomy, crop nutrition, advanced crop ecology, applied conservation agronomy, arid zone agronomy, agricultural research organizations, cropping and farming systems, and agro-meteorology are some of the subjects covered in this degree, Students who complete the Pg degree in M.Sc Agronomy will have several options in various areas.
Dev Bhoomi School of Agriculture offers the , M.Sc. Agriculture Agronomy program that aims to provide instruction to qualified applicants on enhancing agricultural output and, as a result, food security and help society streamline more effective food production processes.
