Future Agronomists in Action: PGI Pithoragarh College BSc Agriculture 5th Semester Students Engage in Wheat Sowing at Field No. 2
The fields of PGI Pithoragarh Agriculture College buzzed with activity as dedicated 5th-semester PGI BSc Agriculture students embarked on a hands-on learning experience in wheat sowing. Under the guidance of experienced faculty members, the students transformed Field No. 2 into a vibrant web of golden wheat seeds, marking the beginning of a promising agricultural career.
This practical crop production (PCP) session provided students with an invaluable opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world farming practices. They explored the difficulties of seed selection, soil preparation, and sowing techniques, gaining practical insights into the crucial aspects of wheat cultivation.
The PCP session extended beyond mere sowing; it encompassed a comprehensive exploration of wheat cultivation practices. Students engaged in discussions on irrigation management, pest control strategies, and nutrient application techniques, ensuring a holistic approach to wheat production.
The practical session also highlighted the importance of sustainability in agriculture. Students were encouraged to adopt eco-friendly practices, such as optimizing water usage and minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers. The focus on the preservation of the environment implanted in them an awareness of the need to maintain the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the sown field, a sense of fulfillment washed over the students. They had not merely planted seeds; they had sown the seeds of knowledge, skills, and a deep appreciation for the art of agriculture.
PGI Pithoragarh College’s wheat-planting activity is evidence of the school’s continuous dedication to experiential learning. By providing students with opportunities to engage in practical, hands-on activities, the college is nurturing a future generation of skilled agronomists equipped with the expertise to address the challenges and opportunities of modern agriculture.
