Agronomy departments

Agronomy departments focus on the science of managing and improving crop production and soil health. They study how different plants grow, how to optimize farming practices, and how to protect crops from pests and diseases. The goal is to increase food, fiber, and fuel yields while maintaining environmental sustainability. Including research, teaching, and advising, these departments support farmers, policymakers, and industries by developing better seeds, fertilizers, and crop management techniques to ensure efficient and sustainable agriculture.
