The step from 'agrobiology' to 'agrobiological' is a regular adjective formation, though the term remains technical and specialized.

Etymology

The word agrobiological joins agro- meaning 'field', as in agriculture, and bio- meaning 'life', as in biology. So, agrobiological is about the 'life' in fields, such as plants, soil, and tiny organisms, and that is why it means the science of living things in farming.
