-Chemistry+and+Agricultural+Productivity

=**__Chemistry and Agricultural Productivity__** = Chemistry in agriculture is a very important part of modern society. Chemists play the important role of keeping the crops safe from pests, helping the plants grow to their best possible size, and making sure plant productivity is as efficient as possible. The way chemist do this is by testing the soil where the plants are growing and check to make sure that everything in the soil is healthy for the plants. If there is a problem in the soil, a chemist might recommend the best way to fix it- since they come up with the best ways to create more fertile soil. Using biotechnology, chemist are able to create ways for plants to survive things like drought or a big insect population in the area. They can create pesticide, that will kill off the insects who consume the plants so that the plants are safe and ready to be consumed by humans. Chemists are also able to use genes of other organisms to help keep the plant as healthy as possible. Chemist are very productive when it comes to supporting our country's agriculture.
