2. INTRODUCTION OF AGRONOMY
●Agronomy is derived from Greek words agros meaning ‘field’
and nomos meaning ‘to manage.

●Agronomy is a branch of agricultural science which deals
with principles and practices of soil, water and crop
management.

3. ❖Agronomy is an art, science and a business.

❖Both physical and mental skills are essential for successful crop
production.

❖Indian agriculture is predominantly of subsistence type.

4. ❖Peter Decresenzi (1230-1307 AD ) collected many literature related to
Agronomy in his book “ Opus Ruralium kamo Daram “ for the first time .

❖He is known as “ father of Agronomy “.

❖Van Helmont (1577-1644 AD ) concluded that the main principle of
vegetation is water .

5. ❖Jenthrotull ( 1674-1741 AD ) published a book “ Horse Hoeing Husbandry “
and the words Weeds and Zero tillage were firstly given by him . He is know
as Father of weed science .

❖Aurthor Young ( 1741 - 1820 AD ) conducted pot culture experiments to
increase the yield of crop by applying several materials like poultry dung ,
litter , gunpowder , etc. published this work in volume as “ Annals of
Agriculture “

7. CROP PRODUCTION
➔Crop production is basically conversion of environmental inputs like solar
energy, carbon dioxide, water and soil nutrients into economic products in
the form of human or animal food or industrial raw materials.

8. IMPORTANCE OF CEREALS
●The word Cereal derived from a roman word “ Ceres” which means the
Golden of grain .

● Grains are generally classified as the seeds of cereal plants. They are
characterized by their smallness, hardness and low water content.

● Most of them belong to the family of grasses, known scientifically as the
family of gramineas( poaceae).

9. ❏Most of Cereals have been the staple human diet from prehistoric times
because of their wide cultivation, good keeping qualities , blend flavor and
great variety. ,

❏The cultivation of grains for human consumption was probably developed
around 10,000 B.C. It signified the commencement of the era of stable
civilization from the primitive unsettled nomadic life.
