CSIR NET doesn't offer Agronomy subject, therefore, it will be difficult to get admission in such course through it. Just make sure that you are well prepared for UGC NET agriculture related subjects, which will surely help you to get admission in Ph.D.

Only NET score is not enough for admission and you have to perform excellently in the interview stage also, which will be conducted by the concerned university.
