DrFilth

my other dictionary is giving agronomy

Ellipsis

I would have said agrology and, since Wikipedia agrees, I'll quote it ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agronomy

Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, feed, fiber, and reclamation. Agronomy encompasses work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrology

Agrology is the branch of soil science dealing with the production of crops ... Agrology is defined as the subdiscipline of agronomy that considers the influence of soil.
