Academic Department
Agronomy
Constituent Department under College of Agriculture
Department of Agronomy was established on 16th August 1948 at the erstwhile Assam Agricultural College, Jorhat. The Department possesses a rich history as the pioneering department conferring higher education in agronomy throughout the northeastern region of India. Originating with undergraduate courses, the department expanded its academic horizon over the years. The department introduced M. Sc (Agri) degree program in 1960, before the formal establishment of the Assam Agricultural University in 1969. As a testament to its commitment to academic excellence, the department initiated the Ph.D (Agri) in 1986. The Department of Agronomy has been at the forefront of addressing the regions agricultural challenges and fulfilling crucial research needs in the field crop sector.
The department has 5 All India Coordinating Research Project (AICRP) viz., 1. AICRP on Forage Crops and Utilization ( Year of establishment: 1970). 2. AICRP on Irrigation Water Management ( Year of establishment :1972) . 3. AICRP on Potato ( Year of establishment : 1975) . 4. AICRP on Weed Management ( Year of establishment: 1982) and 5. AICRP on Integrated Farming System ( Year of establishment : 1985). Through theses projects and post graduate research, the department has made significant contribution in development of improved package of practices of field crops.
Mission: Fostering human resource development in crop management and spearheading technological advancement in the field of agronomy. The departments mission involves creation and dissemination of cutting-edge technologies in agronomic management for technology backstopping for farmers, extension workers and policy makers.

17 RecordsSalient findings under AICRP on weed management
q Ahu rice–kharif rice cropping sequence: Pre-emergence (PE) application of pyrazosulfuron 25g/ha rotated with pretilachlor 750 g/ha at three days after transplanting (DAT) followed by bispyribac sodium 25g/ha at 20-25 DATR as post emergence (PoE) with 100% chemical fertilizer and/ or 25% fertilizer substituted by organic sources have successfully controlled weeds and increased the grain yield of both ahu and kharif rice.
q Kharif rice-wheat sequence: Application of pretilachlor 750 g/ha in rice and isoproturon 750 g /ha + 0.1 % adjuvant or isoproturon 750 g /ha + urea 1 % tank mixture in wheat resulted in better weed control and higher grain yield of the respective crops.
q Upland direct-seeded ahu rice: Upland rice varieties Inglongkiri, Rongkhong, Guni and Haccha recorded good weed suppressing ability.
(a) Application of 75 % RD fertilizer + vermicompost 2 t/ha mixture 3 splits (before sowing as basal, 30 DAS and 60 DAS) + pretilachlor 750 g/ha mixed with the first split followed by HW 30 DAS gave highest grain yield.
or
(b) Pretilachlor 750 g /ha + incorporation of inter-row Cowpea/Dhaincha (20 DAS) + HW 40 DAS with 50% RD fertilizer applied as vermicompost @ 2 t/ha mixture (20 and 40 DAS).
Alternatively
(c) Seed priming with 100 ppm GA3 and pretilachlor @ 750 g/ha followed by hand weeding at 40 DAS were found best weed management practice.
q Potato:
(a) PE application of metribuzine 500 g/ha + mulching with plant biomass resulted better weed control and higher tuber yield potato or
(b) Oxadiargyl 90 g /ha pre-emergence gave similar weed control and tuber yield.
(c) For organic cultivation: Application of different mulching materials like water hyacinth, lemongrass or paddy straw @ 4-6 t/ha
q Ginger: Glyphosate 0.80kg/ha + Oxyfluorfen 0.2 kg/ha just before emergence of sprouts of ginger resulted lowest weed density as well as drymatter at all stages and higher ginger yield.
q Turmeric: Metribuzin 700 g/ha pendimethalin 1000 g/ha + hoeing 30 and 60 DAP/ straw mulch followed by hand weeding 60 DAP effectively reduced the density and dryweight of weeds.
q Garlic: Application of Oxadiargyl 90 g/ha followed by garden-hoe at 30 and 60 DAP resulted higher weed control efficiency an bulb yield of garlic.
q Chilli:
(a) Application of metribuzin @ 500 g/ha + garden hoe 30, 60 DAP or 30, 50, 80 DAP in chilli after transplanted winter rice resulted effective weed control and higher fruit yield.
b) Organically grown chilli: Rice straw mulching fb one hand weeding or oxo-biodegradable plastic film mulching recorded better weed control and higher fruit yield.
q Brinjal grown in kharif rice fallow:
(a) Application of oxadiargyl 90 g/ha + GH at 30, 50, 80 DAP/ at 30, 60 DAP which resulted highest fruit yield among all the treatments.

q Marigold: Oxadiargyl 90 g/ha followed by garden hoeing at 30 DAP recorded good weed control with highest total number and yield of fresh flower. Plant and flower characters of marigold were improved when weed management practice is combined with INM consisting of 30-10-30 kg N-P2O5-K2O + vermicompost 2.5 t/ha in two splits (basal and 30 DAP) followed by vermiwash (10% at 2nd & 3rd week and 20% at 4th & 5th week) spray.
q Organically grown Tea: Effective weed management and highest green tea leaf yield at all the plucking stages were found under bio-degradable film mulching.
Coffee plantation: Soil application of 500 ppm GA followed by oxyfluorfen gave good weed control and growth of the crop in young rejuvenated and bearing coffee plantations as well as higher bean yield without any residue of GA and Glyphosate on coffee seed.
