The mode of reproduction of a crop determines its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods. Knowledge of mode of reproduction is also essential for its artificial manipulation to breed improved types.
Agroecology is a holistic approach that seeks to reconcile agriculture and local communities with natural processes for the common benefit of nature and livelihoods. [ 5 ] Agroecology is inherently multidisciplinary, including sciences such as agronomy , ecology , environmental science , sociology , economics , history and others. [ 3 ]

The Crop Science Society of America was founded in 1956 [1] as a daughter society of the American Society of Agronomy with its inaugural president being Gerald Mott [2] and in 1961 launched Crop Science, the society's flagship peer-reviewed journal. [3]
In agriculture, monocropping is the practice of growing a single crop year after year on the same land. Maize, soybeans, and wheat are three common crops often monocropped. Monocropping is also referred to as continuous cropping, as in "continuous corn." Monocropping allows for farmers to have consistent crops throughout their entire farm.
Agronomy Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by American Society of Agronomy. The journal publishes articles related to soil science, crop science, agroclimatology and agronomic modeling, production agriculture, and software.
A study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition in 2004, entitled Changes in USDA Food Composition Data for 43 Garden Crops, 1950 to 1999, compared nutritional analysis of vegetables done in 1950 and in 1999, and found substantial decreases in six of 13 nutrients measured, including 6% of protein and 38% of riboflavin.
