Agronomy From Basics To Competitive Exams

A complete course with keynotes, test series and attached materials

What you'll learn

Students can have an overview on different topics of Agronomy and how they are inter related to each other.

Students can get conceptual clarity on different complex phenomenon in Agronomy.

After completion of this course, students can solve different problems and numerical in Agronomy.

This course will improve students technical knowledge on Agronomy which led them fetch good marks in class, good rank in competitive exams.

Requirements

Students must have started studying agriculture subject under higher secondary or graduation level.

Smart phone or laptop or tablet with internet connection is more than enough to grasp this course.

Description

In this course, students will learn the basics of agronomy and gradually they will be exposed to facts and concepts associated. Students will get a quiz at the end of each chapter to track their progress and understanding. Students will get lifetime access to different study materials along with conceptual lectures and quizzes. For students who are in school, colleges, and universities and are preparing for different competitive exams and entrance tests, then this course will definitely be helpful for them.Agronomy is a very broad subject consisting of several sub-topics i.e., Introduction, crops, agro meteorology, soil, tillage, dryland agriculture, water management, weed management, farming and cropping systems, etc. So, it is very difficult to prepare lectures for all these topics simultaneously. So, gradually according to the need of the students, we will upload some conceptual lectures from each topic. With time, we will upload more and more quizzes for your self-assessment as well.This course will cover basic concepts of  Agronomy (Introductory agronomy, agrometeorology, crop growth, weather, and crop growth, soil and tillage, soil fertility and nutrient management, dryland agriculture, soil and water conservation in agriculture, irrigation and water management, watershed management, weed management, cropping, and farming system, post-harvest processing, sustainable agriculture, precision agriculture, etc.), Soil science (Soil formation, soil physics, soil microbiology, soil chemistry, soil biology, soil fertility, etc.), plant physiology and agricultural statistics.Students from India will get help in their ICAR entrance exams, ASRB NET/STO/SMS/ARS exams, SAU entrance exams, and written exams in jobs i.e., AAO, AHO, ASCO, ADA, RAEO, RHEO, SADO, IBPS AFO, NABARD, etc. as Agronomy contributes major part of any agri-competitive examination.
