Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, fiber, and reclamation. Agronomy encompasses work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science. Agronomy is the application of a combination of sciences like biology,chemistry, economics, ecology, earth science, and genetics. Agronomists today are involved with many issues including producing food, creating healthier food, managing environmental impact of agriculture, and creating energy from plants.^[1] Agronomists often specialize in areas such as crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant breeding, plant physiology, soil classification, soil fertility, weed control, insect and pest control.

IRRIGATION ENGINEER

An irrigation engineer is a person who designs irrigation systems and oversees their construction or implementation. He or she must have a solid understanding of irrigation processes as well as moderate engineering skills for designing effective systems. It is likely that an irrigation engineer will work on an engineering or construction team along with designers and various types of construction workers who can help complete the project. This job generally requires a college education, and candidates often hold degrees in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, or other design degrees.

Irrigation is the process of transporting water safely from one location to another, usually for agricultural purposes but not exclusively so. This means an irrigation engineer should have a thorough knowledge of farming processes as well as other uses for irrigation systems. Learning about such topics may be part of a college degree program, though it is likely the irrigation engineer will learn about many of these topics through on the job training or apprenticeships. The engineer is likely to interact regularly with other experts such as farmers, ranchers, other engineers, or designers to ensure the irrigation systems meet the demands of the users and are within adherence of local laws and regulations.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER

Agricultural engineering is the engineering discipline that applies engineering science and technology to agricultural production and processing. Agricultural engineering combines the disciplines of animal biology, plant biology, and mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical engineering principles with a knowledge of agricultural principles.^[1][2]

• design of agricultural machinery, equipment, and agricultural structures
• internal combustion engines as applied to agricultural machinery
• agricultural resource management (including land use and water use)
• water management, conservation, and storage for crop irrigation and livestock production
• surveying and land profiling
• climatology and atmospheric science
• soil management and conservation, including erosion and erosion control
• seeding, tillage, harvesting, and processing of crops
• livestock production, including poultry, fish, and dairy animals
• waste management, including animal waste, agricultural residues, and fertilizer runoff
• food engineering and the processing of agricultural products
• basic principles of circuit analysis, as applied to electrical motors
• physical and chemical properties of materials used in, or produced by, agricultural production
• bioresource engineering, which uses machines on the molecular level to help the environment.
• Design of experiments related to crop and animal production
