Agronomy is the science of the production and utilization of plants for multidisciplinary use along with soil, crop and water management. Agronomy related to work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, Agrometeorology, and soil science. Agronomy is the application of combined sciences like biology, chemistry, economics, ecology, earth science, and genetics. Agronomy is now an important research field for scientists to study the behavior of plants in different environmental conditions including climate, soil type and irrigation, fertilization etc. Crop Science and Technology is the field dealing with the Selection, Breeding, Crop productivity, Seed production, Organic crops, Crop technology transpiration, Field crops research, and Crop and Irrigation technology. Crop science deals with food, feed, turf, and fibre crops and their management. It is a broad field that includes breeding, genetics, production, and management of crops and animal feed. Crop science also takes part in the conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources of plants, insects and other invertebrates, and microorganisms.
