Addressing the emerging challenges of agriculture demands reorienting the agricultural education in general and agronomy education in particular. Crop husbandry has been evolving constantly, although academically and, for different operational purposes, agronomy science and academia have remained far more static than they should have been. This note emphasizes that the science of agronomy must include all the important aspects of crop management so that agronomists/students can attain better comprehension in wider perspective so that the goal of agronomy can be realized in the current context of changing crop husbandry.

Abstract


Addressing the emerging challenges of agriculture demands reorienting the agricultural education in general and agronomy education in particular. Crop husbandry has been evolving constantly, although academically and, for different operational purposes, agronomy science and academia have remained far more static than they should have been. This note emphasizes that the science of agronomy must include all the important aspects of crop management so that agronomists/students can attain better comprehension in wider perspective so that the goal of agronomy can be realized in the current context of changing crop husbandry.
