Master of Science in Agronomy
Master of Science in Agronomy or MSc in Agronomy is a postgraduate programme which deals with the study of crops and the soils in which they grow. It is a two-year programme, divided into four semesters in which one learns about the basic concepts in the field of agriculture.
A Master of Science in Agronomy provides graduates with a thorough knowledge and understanding of how agricultural productivity can improve food security and assist human beings with the ability to methodize more efficient food production procedures. The subjects studied under the agriculture studies degree include concepts like crop production, physiology of drought, herbicides, irrigation agronomy, advanced irrigation agronomy, advanced crop ecology, arid zone agronomy, agro-metrology, cropping and farming systems, crop yields, the principle of croup nutrition etc. The course helps students to gain knowledge of animal and plants organisms, their functions, inter dependencies, cell functions and their interactions with each other and the environment.
We here at Doon Group Of Colleges through masters in agronomy teach our students to improve agriculture productivity, manage products and contribute to the future development of the sector through research activities.The course teaches them the proper ways to communicate with the public, farmers and fellow scientists through a wide range of methods. With an increase in the need for new ways for improving sustainable agricultural practices, the discipline is fast gaining popularity in the country, in both government and private sectors.The course curriculum of master’s degree in agronomy trains students through both theoretical and practical knowledge so that they can conduct research in crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant breeding, soil classification, soil fertility, weed control, and other areas. We make sure that through our course we can help our students in combining research with in-depth instruction in climatology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology and plant breeding so that they can easily translate their studies into results.
