Agronomy Practice Exam

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.

Agronomists work to develop methods that will improve the use of soil and increase the production of food and fiber crops. They conduct research in crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant breeding, soil classification, soil fertility, weed control, and other areas.

Why is Agronomy important?
Agronomy provides farmers with agricultural information about how to grow and care for plants and soils in certain environments. Factors such as climate, roots, moisture, weeds, pests, fungi, and erosion can all pose significant challenges when farmers attempt to produce a plentiful harvest.

Benefits include increased yields, lower production costs (for example, lower seed, pesticide or herbicide costs), improved soil fertility, and reduced use of water.
