Cairns, Mogo, neither right for agricultural science (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agronomics

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agricultural science' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'cairns mogo neither right' is the wordplay.
'cairns mogo' can be anagrammed to 'AGRONOMICS'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for agronomics that I've seen is " Branch of economics dealing with land".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
