The Agronomy teaching was introduced during 1930 in the then Cawnpore Agriculture College when Agra University recognized the “Licenciate in Agriculture” equivalent to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. The status of Agronomy section was elevated to Department of Agronomy with the start of Post Graduate classes in 1951-52 under the then Agriculture College. Ten full-fledged divisions including Agronomy comprising of Agronomy and Agricultural Engineering was created when the status of Agriculture College was raised to UP Institute of Agricultural Sciences during January 1969. The staff of Agronomy division was engaged in teaching, research and extension activities in integrated manner under the aegis of UP Institute of Agricultural Sciences. The Institute was upgraded and rechristened as Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur on 01 July, 1975 and the Division of Agronomy was again renamed as Department of Agronomy having teaching to under graduate and post graduate students coupled with research besides extension of agronomic findings of the university.
Agronomy has contributed significantly in developing improved agro-techniques and production technologies as well as furtherance of knowledge. The most important achievements are briefly summarized below :
(A) Low cost/ Non monetary input technologies :
(B) Profitable cropping/ Farming systems :
(C ) Intercropping system :
(D) Multiple cropping :
Following multiple and relay crop sequence have been recommended to the cultivators.
(D) Water management

Research Activities
Agronomic research on different crops and cropping systems are being carried out considering various problems raised by farmers and authenticated by the Research Advisory Committee Meeting of Agronomy discipline held twice (Kharif and Rabi) in a year and recommendations are made accordingly. Emphasis is laid on basic and strategic research aspects of crop husbandry, cropping systems, farming systems, organic farming, water management, weed management and Agro-meteorological aspects.
Extension Activities
Teaching Activities
The department offers various courses of Agronomy for Bachelor (51 credits including experiential learning and elective courses as per Vth Deans’ committee), Master (42 credits) and Doctorate (61 credits) degrees. The M.Sc. (15 credits) and Ph.D. (10 credits) students of the department also study minor and supporting courses in Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry as well as Crop Physiology department besides Experimental Design/ Agricultural Statistics . The department has adopted course curricula recommended by 5th ICAR Deans’ Committee at UG level from 2016-17 academic session, while the course curricula for M.Sc. (Ag.) and Ph.D. degree are as per the recommendations of National Core Group. About 15-17 students in M.Sc. (Ag.) programme and 2-4 students in Ph.D. programme are being admitted through Combined Agriculture and Technology Entrance Tests (CATET) every year besides ICAR quota (NTS / JRF/ SRF) and foreign students nominated by ICAR.
