Agronomy Questions for bsc (honours) in Botany  students or botany degree students. Today, I have given most important agronomy questions. Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants in agriculture for food, fuel, fiber, and land restoration. It is both a humanitarian career and a scientific one. Agronomy has come to encompass work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science.
