Crop Production

Crop Production and Field Learning Facilities

The college possesses extensive agricultural lands comprising 10 acres of wetland, 20 acres of dryland, 15 acres of garden land, 20 acres of orchards, 8 acres of botanical garden, 2 acres of herbal garden, and 10 acres of agroforestry plantations. These facilities provide students with hands-on exposure to the cultivation and management of a diverse range of agricultural, horticultural, medicinal, and forestry crops.

Major field crops cultivated include paddy, groundnut, sunflower, greengram, blackgram, fodder grasses, and various vegetable crops. The horticultural units maintain a wide collection of fruit crops such as mango, sapota, guava, papaya, pomegranate, dragon fruit, amla, custard apple, jackfruit, sweet orange, and acid lime. The agroforestry plantations consist of valuable tree species including teak, red sandalwood, and mahogany.

These crop production units function as a living field laboratory, enabling students to gain practical knowledge and skill-based training in crop production, crop management, orchard management, and agroforestry practices.

In addition to open-field cultivation, the college promotes modern agricultural technologies through protected cultivation structures such as polyhouses and shade-net houses. A well-established nursery unit facilitates the multiplication and propagation of quality planting materials.

As part of the Experiential Learning Programme (ELP) during the eighth semester, students actively engage in nursery management, protected cultivation, and organic farming, thereby enhancing their entrepreneurial skills, technical competence, and practical understanding of sustainable agricultural practices.
