Modified crop study shortly will deliver results (8)
I believe the answer is:
products
'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" .)
