Modified crop study shortly will deliver results (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

products

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

'will deliver results' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'modified crop study shortly' is the wordplay.
'modified' indicates an anagram.
'shortly' means to remove the last letter.
'crop'+'study'='cropstudy'
'cropstudy' with its final letter taken away is 'cropstud'.
'cropstud' anagrammed gives 'PRODUCTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for products that I've seen before include "Commodities, merchandise" , "Goods" , "Commodities offered for sale" .)
