Agrostology

Agrostology is the scientific study of grasses, which are a large and diverse family of plants known as Poaceae. This field involves classifying, identifying, and understanding the biology, ecology, and distribution of grasses, including important species like wheat, maize, rice, and bamboo. Grasses are crucial for ecosystems, agriculture, and economy, providing food, fodder, and raw materials. Agrostologists analyze how grasses grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment, contributing to agricultural development, conservation efforts, and ecological research.
