A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Meaning of agronomy and irrigation

Agronomy is the science of crop production and soil management, while irrigation is the artificial application of water to crops to supplement rainfall. Mastering these concepts is essential for the NUC CCMAS and NBTE exams because they form the foundation of all subsequent irrigation design, management, and sustainability questions.
