The Department of Agronomy seeks to teach the study of the farm-field, its crops, and its science and management. It originally consisted of three sub-departments to do this: Soils, Farm-Crops, and Agricultural Engineering (which became its own department in 1907). Today, the department teaches crop sciences and breeding, soil sciences, meteorology, agroecology, and biotechnology.
History
The Department of Agronomy was formed in 1902. From 1917 to 1935 it was known as the Department of Farm Crops and Soils.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) fertilization is needed for profitable crop production in most Iowa soils. Extensive research has been conducted for decades on crop yield response to P and calibration of soil-test P methods. Frequent changes in crop genotypes and increasing yield levels necessitates continuous research to revise and update management guidelines as needed. This report summarizes results of a multi-year experiment conducted to evaluate corn and soybean grain yield response to different P fertilization rates and soil-test P levels.
