What Is Computer Science? Fields & Funding - CASRAI

Agronomy and crop science are the parts of agricultural science concerned with how field crops are grown, improved, and managed in soil and climate conditions that cannot be fully controlled. If you arrived here wanting the whole map of agricultural research, including animals, horticulture, food systems and rural economics, start with What Is Agricultural Science?; this page goes one level down and explains the crop-and-soil core of that map: what agronomists and crop scientists study, how they test ideas in the field, who organizes and funds the work, and where research administrators meet it. Agronomy is the science and practice of producing field crops — grains, oilseeds, forages, fiber and similar broadacre crops — while managing the soil, water, nutrients and pests that determine how those crops perform. It is an applied, systems-oriented discipline: an agronomist rarely studies one variable in isolation, because yield in a real field is the joint outcome of genetics, weather, soil, management timing and pest pressure.

The spacecraft delivered materials and equipment for new research studies to the station.

The history of life on Earth doesn’t start with the Cambrian Explosion. However, this was the point in time that nearly all major animal groups appeared, proliferated, and diversified. It wiped out 90% of life on Earth, turned the oceans into graveyards – and it very nearly ended life on our planet entirely
