Agronomists are scientists who focus on crop production and soil. They work in the field and in labs to study plants and their growing environment. Their work helps improve crop growth by making them more resistant to diseases and pests, improving the quality of the crops, and creating new planting methods. Agronomists sometimes specialize in specific parts of the crop-growing process or certain concerns, such as sustainability or soil conservation. No matter the specialty, the position typically involves field work, such as collecting soil samples, observing fields and monitoring test fields. Some tasks also take place in the lab, where Agronomists test different solutions and new methods for improving crop growth. Their work benefits Farmers, who can produce more crops of higher quality with the newer methods and strategies. Agronomy also protects the environment by identifying more efficient methods that help conserve soil and water.
