Agronomy

Agronomy is a branch of agricultural science that focuses on studying and applying principles of crop production and soil management. It involves the scientific management of plants and their environment to optimize agricultural productivity and sustainability.

Agronomists work on crop production, soil science, plant breeding, weed and pest management and sustainable agriculture practices. They aim to develop and promote techniques that enhance crop yields, conserve natural resources and address global challenges related to food production and environmental sustainability.

Agronomists work closely with farmers, agricultural researchers and other professionals in the agricultural industry to apply their knowledge and expertise to improve agricultural practices, ensure food security and address global challenges related to food production. They are critical in bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and practical, sustainable farming techniques.
