Meaning and scope of agronomy

Agronomy is the branch of agriculture concerned with the principles and practices of field-crop production and soil management for useful, sustained output. For examination purposes, you must master both the meaning of agronomy and its scope, because questions often test what agronomy covers, how it differs from related agricultural fields, and why it is central to efficient land use and crop production.
