Agricultural Science Fundamentals
Define and correctly use 40 core agronomy terms (e.g., photosynthesis pathways, transpiration, seed dormancy, photoperiodism, crop season classification) in written form
Explain the physiological stages of a cereal, a pulse and an oilseed crop from germination to maturity, listing the management intervention appropriate at each stage
Differentiate C3, C4 and CAM plants by photosynthetic efficiency, water use and typical crops grown in Rajasthan's semi-arid conditions
Describe the role of plant growth regulators and micronutrients in crop development with one practical field example each
Your checkpoint
A hand-written one-page concept map linking 40 agronomy terms to crop stages, self-quizzed until 90% recall without notes
Crop Production and Management
Build a cropping calendar for the kharif, rabi and zaid seasons naming at least six crops per season with their sowing window and duration
Compare seedbed preparation, seed rate, spacing and sowing method for wheat, mustard, pearl millet and cotton
List the critical irrigation stages and fertilizer split doses for the four crops above
Calculate seed rate and plant population per hectare for two crops from given germination percentage and test weight
Your checkpoint
A completed four-crop management table (sowing to harvest) plus two solved seed-rate calculations checked against the formula
Crop Production and Management & Soil Science and Fertility
Classify soils by texture, structure and profile horizons and match each major soil order to its crop suitability
Explain soil pH, cation exchange capacity and base saturation and predict how each affects nutrient availability
Diagnose five nutrient deficiency symptoms (N, P, K, Zn, Fe) from written symptom descriptions and prescribe a corrective dose
Compute a fertilizer recommendation from soil test values for N, P and K using the standard conversion factors
Your checkpoint
A diagnostic worksheet: five written deficiency scenarios correctly identified with a justified corrective fertilizer plan
Plant Protection and Pest Management & Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Identify 15 major insect pests and diseases of field crops by damage symptom description and name one integrated management measure for each
Distinguish between contact, systemic and fumigant pesticide action and state safe-handling and pre-harvest interval rules
Describe the digestive system of a ruminant and explain the role of rumen microflora in fibre digestion
Outline a vaccination and deworming schedule for cattle and buffalo from calf to adult
List the steps of clean milk production from milking to storage and name two tests for milk quality
Your checkpoint
A 20-item pest-and-disease flashcard set plus a one-page cattle health calendar, both self-tested to 85% accuracy
Animal Husbandry and Dairying & Horticulture and Vegetable Production
Explain oestrus detection, artificial insemination timing and the gestation period for cattle and buffalo
Compare the nutritional requirements and feeding schedule of a lactating cow, a dry cow and a growing heifer
Select appropriate vegetable crops for rabi and summer seasons and state nursery raising steps for tomato and chilli
Describe pruning, training and propagation methods (cutting, grafting, layering) for two fruit crops
Plan a one-hectare vegetable rotation that avoids consecutive crops from the same family
Your checkpoint
A two-season vegetable and fruit production plan on one page with a justified rotation and a cattle feeding chart
Agricultural Economics and Farm Management & Agricultural Engineering and Farm Machinery
Compute cost of cultivation, gross income, net income and benefit-cost ratio for a given crop budget
Explain farm records, depreciation and the difference between fixed and variable costs with worked examples
Describe the functions and calibration of a seed drill, sprayer and thresher
Match tractor-implement combinations to field operations and state the safety checks before hitching an implement
Your checkpoint
A full crop budget for one hectare solved end to end (cost, income, B:C ratio) plus a labelled sketch of a seed drill with its calibration steps
Extension Education and Rural Development & Environmental Science and Sustainable Agriculture
List the steps of the extension teaching-learning process and compare individual, group and mass contact methods with one use case each
Describe the role of panchayats, cooperatives and self-help groups in rural development programme delivery
Explain soil erosion types and name two mechanical and two agronomic conservation measures
Outline the principles of integrated nutrient management, crop residue management and organic farming certification basics
Your checkpoint
A one-page extension campaign outline for a village problem plus a table of four soil conservation measures with their suitability
Agro-based Industries and Entrepreneurship & Agricultural Science Fundamentals & Crop Production and Management & Soil Science and Fertility & Plant Protection and Pest Management & Animal Husbandry and Dairying & Horticulture and Vegetable Production & Agricultural Economics and Farm Management & Agricultural Engineering and Farm Machinery & Extension Education and Rural Development & Environmental Science and Sustainable Agriculture
Describe the value chain of two agro-based industries (e.g., dairy and oilseed processing) from raw material to market
Draft a one-page business idea for a small agro-enterprise with input costs, expected revenue and a marketing channel
Revise all domains through timed mixed-topic practice and log every wrong answer with its correct concept
Re-test the logged wrong answers until each is answered correctly twice
Your checkpoint
A one-page enterprise proposal plus a completed error log with 100% of logged items re-tested correctly
Milestones
Week 2: Explain the full crop cycle of wheat and pearl millet aloud in under five minutes each, naming sowing window, seed rate, irrigation stages and harvest time without notes
Week 4: Score at least 80% on a self-made 30-question mixed set covering domains 1 to 4, with every miss written into the error log
Week 6: Solve one unseen crop budget correctly (cost of cultivation, net income and B:C ratio) within 20 minutes, and identify 10 of 12 pest or disease symptom descriptions
Week 8: Complete a full-length timed mock covering all 11 domains and reach at least 75%, with no domain scoring below 60%
