Subsequently, the emphasis was given on basic and strategic aspects of crop husbandry and soil &amp; water management. Research work is primarily based on various problems received as feedbacks from time to time and finalized in the project level meeting of Agronomy discipline. Research outcome is discussed in the annual RRC and RFRC meetings and then research recommendations are released after approval in Joint AGRESCO. Agronomy has contributed significantly in developing improved production technologies. The most important achievements are briefly summarized below :\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">The scientific approach of irrigation scheduling based on IW\/CPE ratio was dealt in different crops of the region.
