Course description

This course will introduce students to the fundamental principles of agronomy and crop production. In both a classroom and field setting, this will include a bigger picture exploration of cropping zones in Australia, and move onto a "ground up" approach of crop production. Topics covered will include importance of healthy soils in sustainable production, tillage, crop rotations, management of soil water and crop nutrition, and genotype x environment x management interactions. The course should provide students with a good foundation of the key factors driving crop production in cropping and mixed farming businesses.
