Crop and Pasture Production is an undergraduate course providing practical knowledge of agronomic systems for southern Australia. Students learn crop and pasture selection, management techniques, and sustainable production practices essential for agricultural professionals.
Students must have completed either AGRI1000 Agricultural Production or AGRI1002 Agricultural Systems as a prerequisite. This course is designed for undergraduate students pursuing agricultural studies and assumes foundational knowledge in agricultural systems. No specific assumed knowledge beyond the prerequisite courses is required.
The course covers comprehensive agronomic topics including weed, pest and disease management strategies; species and cultivar identification and selection techniques; crop and pasture selection based on environmental suitability; rotation planning and tillage practices; nutrition management and fertiliser application; and the relationship between agronomy and environmental sustainability. Students explore factors affecting crop growth and development, methods for establishing productive pastures, and sustainable crop production systems tailored to southern Australian conditions.
The University of Adelaide offers this course through its School of Ag, Food and Wine with experienced coordinators like Gurjeet Gill. The course is delivered at the Roseworthy Campus, a dedicated agricultural facility, combining theoretical knowledge with practical hands-on learning through integrated lecture and practical classes. The university's focus on contemporary, accessible, and future-focused education ensures students gain relevant skills for modern agricultural practice.
Graduates can pursue careers as agricultural consultants, crop managers, pasture specialists, farm managers, or agricultural scientists. The course prepares students for roles in agricultural production, sustainable farming operations, agribusiness, and further postgraduate study in agricultural sciences. Skills in crop and pasture management are valuable across diverse agricultural sectors including grain production, livestock farming, and agricultural advisory services.
