The phrase "agronomic setting" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the environmental and agricultural conditions relevant to farming practices or crop production.
Example: "The agronomic setting of the region plays a crucial role in determining the types of crops that can be successfully cultivated."
Alternatives: "agricultural context" or "farming environment".
To evaluate broad-spectrum resistance under realistic agronomic setting, it is important to have mutants without severe pleiotropic effects.
Such an approach would provide insight into species phenology and, in an agronomic setting, allow growers to closely match species to sites.
Second, halophytes grown in an agronomic setting can be used to evaluate the overall feasibility of high-salinity agriculture [ 31, 71].
They found that the average vegetative growth and nitrogen use efficiency of the transgenic hybrids were lower than the wild-type B. rapa parent indicating that the transgenic Brassica hybrids would likely be less fit in an agronomic setting.
Rice is the world's most important agronomic plant.
To establish a reverse genetics platform in melon and to identify novel alleles of agronomic importance, we have set up a melon TILLING platform and performed a screen for mutations in genes that control fruit ripening.
To investigate the capacity of TILLING as a powerful tool of reverse genetics in tomato and to identify novel alleles of agronomic importance, we have set up a tomato TILLING platform and performed a screen for mutations in host factors required for the potyvirus infection.
Further work is in progress at ICRISAT to add more number of markers and phenotype to this reference set for agronomic traits including drought, salinity and high temperature tolerance.
We conclude that: i) leaving the litter layer and an understorey in crops and trees plantations is the best way to minimize soil erosion, and ii) the splash and wash model may be helpful to set up optimal agronomic strategies for a sustainable land use of Southeast Asia uplands.
Considering the implications of Type I MADS-box genes on seed development and the agronomic importance of cereal endosperm, we set out to identify and characterize Type I MADS-box genes in barley.
This tolerant set reflects considerable variability in numerous agronomic traits including plant height, tillering ability, days to maturity and grain yield when grown under control conditions (Table 3) or in response to SF.
