Agronomy is the science of handling crops and soil to enhance the yield both of quantity and quality of the desired crop utilising land, water and light effectively with minimum production inputs. The unique contribution of agronomy as a discipline is to provide the integration of physical, chemical and biological knowledge into useful production systems. Improved crop production is the successful application of ever-changing agricultural technology to enhance the productivity of crops.
Agrometeorological knowledge has immense practical utility in mitigating weather hazards on crop production. B type observatory has been installed and various weather parameters are observed and documented regularly.
The Vision of the department is to impart futuristic high-tech agricultural education and setting global standards to make agriculture graduates technologically superior and ethically strong, who inturn shall improve the quality of life of farmers and transform agriculture as most economical and business arena.
Towards effective atttainment of the vision, the department strives to impart value based agricultural education with updated knowledge through credit based system.
It deals with scientific facts in relation to environment in which crops are produced. Knowledge of such basic principles aids in modifying the controllable environmental factors of crop production for realising the production potentials of cultivars. Sound knowledge of agronomic principles helps the agronomists in realising optimum yields at minimum cost without degrading the soil productivity.

“குடி நிறை வல்சி செம் சால் உழவர்
நடை நவில் பெரும் பகடு புதவில் பூட்டி
பிடி வாய் அன்ன மடி வாய் நாஞ்சில்
உடுப்பு முக முழு கொழு மூழ்க ஊன்றி “

பொருள்: பழக்கப்பட்ட காளைகளை நுகத்தில் பூட்டி உழுகிறான். அவனது நாஞ்சில் கலப்பையானது துதிக்கையோடு கூடிய பெண்யானையின் தலை போன்றது. உடுப்புமுகம் என்பது உடும்பு போன்ற முகம். அது கலப்பையின் நாவுப் பகுதி. அதில் இரும்பாலான கொழுவும் சேர்ந்திருக்கும். நாவும் கொழுவும் மண்ணுக்குள் மூழ்கிப்போகும் அளவுக்கு உழவன் ஆழமாக உழுதான்.
