About Agronomy
Agronomy
is the science and technology of producing and using plants in
agriculture for food, fuel, fiber, recreation, and land restoration.
Agronomy has come to encompass work in the areas of plant genetics,
plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science.
Why is Agronomy important?
Benefits include increased yields, lower production
costs (for example, lower seed, pesticide or herbicide costs), improved
soil fertility, and reduced use of water.
