Agronomic practices refer to the techniques and methods used in agriculture to improve crop production and soil health. These practices include crop rotation, which involves alternating different crops in a specific sequence to enhance soil fertility and reduce pests. Other practices include proper irrigation management, soil conservation, and the use of fertilizers to provide essential nutrients to plants.
Additionally, agronomic practices encompass pest management strategies, such as integrated pest management (IPM), which combines biological, cultural, and chemical methods to control pests effectively. By implementing these practices, farmers can increase yields, maintain sustainable farming systems, and promote environmental health.
