Study of crops and their interaction with soils, climate and agricultural management. Field performance depends on these conditions as well as on the inherited characteristics examined in plant breeding.
Bending or displacement of crop stems from their upright position. Plant architecture, weather and growth conditions affect its occurrence and the resulting harvest losses.
A scientist who studies crop production in relation to plants, soils, climate and management. An agronomist uses field comparisons to connect a proposed intervention with yield or other outcomes under stated growing conditions.
Agronomist associated with development of high-yielding wheat and the expansion of food production through plant breeding. His work connected inherited crop properties with agricultural management rather than treating yield as an intrinsic constant of a variety.[ref]
