Thank you all. Can see that I went wrong with another clue. I had a soil expert as a pedologist instead of an agronomist (so I was never going to get oogenesis with what I had!) Needed that 'g'!

[factor-fiction]

Regarding the soil expert one,I recall there have been debates before between the agrologist and agronomist so just make sure what fits

[susanwilton]

Hi factor30, unfortunately both fit!

[susanwilton]

Just seen that atmoorings makes agronomist so that fits. Thank you again.
