Agronomy looks at agriculture from an integrated, holistic perspective. Agronomists are specialists in crop and soil science, as well as ecology. Some things they look at are:

• the properties of the soil;

• how the soil interacts with the growing crop;

• what nutrients (fertilizers) the crop needs;

• when and how to apply these nutrients;

• the ways that crops grow and develop;

• how climate and other environmental factors affect the crop at all stages;

• how best to control weeds, insects, fungi, and other crop pests; and,

• how to grow crops effectively and profitably while conserving and protecting the environment.
