The scientific study of soil properties and their relationship to agriculture and plant growth.
From Greek 'agros' (field) + 'logos' (study). Developed in the 18th-19th centuries as agriculture became more scientific and systematic rather than purely traditional.
Agrology completely transformed farming when scientists realized that understanding soil chemistry could predict success better than just copying what your grandfather did.
