Education is the key to unlock the golden door to freedom” - George. Washington Carver. This presented book is a basic book of “Fundamentals of Agronomy - I” and will be used for the study of Undergraduate and Post graduate students from all over India. “Fundamentals of Agronomy - I” book cover all topics specified in the syllabus of 5th Deans committee set by ICAR in 2016-17. As per the revised syllabus, Introduction of Agriculture, Principles of Agronomy, Fundamental of tillage, crop density and geometry, crop production, crop nutrition including manures and fertilizers, weed management, crop growth and development have been well-presented to meet the needs of students. All principles of agronomy are written in great details in simple language and in way that is useful to readers and hope that the students will find it easy to digest and it will work well in academic filed. While preparing this book, scientific journals, articles and online websites data of reputed authors, useful information has been collected for the students and it has been neatly arranged as per syllabus of ICAR. We are very grateful to the authors and publishers from whom we have created this book with references from Agronomy related books of course, We hope this book will help to students in Agriculture to simplify the All principles of agronomy. Also in many cases it was not possible to get the permission of every author, so we are apologize to them. Even with lots of efforts, the possibility of some errors by mistake cannot be ruled out.

Agronomy is the core subject of agricultural sciences. A strong foundation for agricultural education emerges by understanding the principles of Agronomy. Majority of the Students who join for the degree programmes in agriculture universities are never exposed to the crops and crop production aspects.The beginner's to agriculture needs to be introduced the meaning, scope and principles of agronomy. With this back ground and keeping in mind the common syllabus prescribed by the Dean's committee for agriculture education in the country efforts are made to compile and present the information on introduction to agronomy, agriculture, meaning, scope and importance, history of development of agriculture, agricultural education and research in the country and elsewhere, factors affecting plant growth, manures and fertilizers, principles of agronomy viz. soil management, crop management, weed management, management of problematic soils, cropping systems, selection of planting materials, their treatment in simple language. At the end of each chapter subjective and objective questions are provided for practice. The author hopes that this book will be useful for the students for learning and for the faculty for teaching the course "Fundamentals of Agronomy" for the undergraduate degree programme in the Agricultural Universities.

Agronomy deals with the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, fiber, and land reclamation. The importance of agronomy provides farmers with agricultural information about how to grow and care for plants and soils in certain environments. Factors such as climate, roots, moisture, weeds, pests, fungi, and erosion can pose significant challenges when farmers attempt to produce a plentiful harvest. In order to discover ways of integrating crops into the environment in ways that will allow them to prosper, agronomists study these agricultural hurdles. Throughout history, scientific and technological advances have greatly impacted the agriculture industry. Early farmers improved their crop production by inventing the first hoes. Today, farmers improve crop production through the use of global positioning systems (GPS). How did these changes happen? How did people learn about new ideas? How have these ideas changed farming methods? In recent times, research and development in this area have made innovations in farming products and practices.Fundamentals Of Agronomy presents the comprehensive coverage in the pursuit of improving the yield of crops, protecting crops against diseases and pest, making livestock healthy all the time, designing the best method of crops storage and even helping in predicting the climate conducive for agricultural practice cannot be over emphasized. Crop protection is very vital in agriculture. Disease affects plants and leads to delay in metabolic activities, stunted growth, shedding of flowers and fruits and sometimes the actual death of the plant. Cultural and chemical controls are most of the time used. Culturally, crop rotation is adopted, burning remains after harvesting, regular weeding of the soil, proper spacing of crops using of high yielding and resistant varieties and practicing of irrigation during dry season are adopted.This book will be of interest to students, professional practitioners, educators, and advisers who work directly with farmers, companies, and others in the agriculture community to implement the latest methods and tools for growing crops profitably and sustainably.

An understating of fundamentals of Agronomy is essential for scientific farming community to increase trend in crop production while ensuring sustainability of the system. Major problem in Indian Agriculture is low crop productivity but, population is growing at enormous rate. Therefore it is important to understand the fundamentals of agronomy to provide favourable environment for crop growth and development along with planning, programming and executing measures for efficient utilization of land, labour, capital and natural resources. This text book is as per the syllabus prescribed by Fifth Dean’s Committee on Higher Agricultural Education in India. The book provides its readers with an added advantage of broad coverage of topics and well thought explanations of various fundamental aspects of Agronomy.

Agriculture is one of the few industries that has been creating resources conti- ously from nature. Sustainability of this industry is a crucial issue at now-a-days. Agricultural technologies are important to feed the growing world population. Agricultural engineering has been applying scienti?c principles for the optimal use of natural resources in agricultural production for the bene?t of humankind. The role of agricultural engineering is increasing in the coming days at the forthcoming challenges of producing more food with less water coupled with climate uncertainty. I am happy to know that a book entitled "Fundamentals of Irrigation and On-farm Water Management", written by Engr. Dr. M. H. Ali, is going to be p- lished by Springer. The book is designed to cover the major ?elds of agricultural and environmental engineering such as weather, plant, soil, water, and basics of on-farm water management. The book will be quite useful for the students of agricultural engineering. Students of other related branches of engineering s- ences, and engineers working in the ?eld and at research institutes will also be beni?ted. The book may serve as a text book for the students and as a practical hand-book for the practitioners and researchers in the ?eld of irrigation and on-farm water management. Utilization of the recent literature in the area and citation of relevant journals / reports have added a special value to this book. Considering the topics covered, engineers, scientists, practitioners, and educators will ?nd this book as a valuable resource.
