Did You Know?

Soil pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. When the pH level is either too low or too high, it can alter chemical reactions, impacting the availability of nutrients and biological activities in the soil.

Pest Management

Prompt application of pesticides is vital to avoid significant losses in yield. Agronomists routinely inspect fields and crops to evaluate pest populations and the effectiveness of management tactics. It is crucial for agronomists to accurately identify different pests and monitor their numbers to assess the severity of the issue.

Nutrient Levels

Keeping nutrient levels balanced can improve plants’ resistance to diseases and pests, which in turn enhances soil fertility.

Disease Management

Agronomists play a key role in understanding and tackling plant diseases that can significantly impact crop yields and food safety. They utilize their knowledge in plant science, soil science, and related fields like plant pathology to identify and manage these diseases. Agronomists develop strategies to prevent and reduce the effects of plant diseases.

Weed Management

With increasing resistance to glyphosate and other herbicides, crop consultants frequently suggest alternative herbicide options and the most effective combinations tailored for specific areas or farms.
