Question

4.2
5. Complete the flowchart given below.
Ploughing →
→ Adding manure/fertiliser →
→ Protecting from weeds ​

Answer 1

Required Answer:

Ploughing → levelling → irrigation → Adding manure and fertilizer → protecting from pests → Protecting from weeds → harvesting & post harvesting → storage.

_______________________

Explanation:

Here, all the above steps are involved in agriculture or they are agricultural practices. Farmers perform these tasks step-wise for the good crop yield. These steps are:

• Preparation of the soil ( levelling and ploughing )
• Irrigation
• Adding nutrients
• Protection from pests
• Protection from weeds
• harvesting and post harvesting
• Storage

_______________________________

In brief:

• Ploughing : The process of turning a few inches of the soil.

Agricultural implement → Plough.

• Levelling : The process of making the soil even for uniform irrigation.

Agricultural implement → wooden leveller

• Adding nutrients : The process of providing the nutrients required by the plants.Manure and fertilizers are added as nutrients.

• Protection from pest : Pest are those organisms that cause damage to the crops. To protect the crops from pests, farmers spray pesticides on the crops.

• Protection from weeds : Weeds are the unwanted plants grow along with the main crop and cause damage to the crops. To protect the crops from pests, farmers spray weedicides on the crops.

• Harvesting : The process of cutting the mature crop from the main field.

Agricultural implement → Harvester, combine.

◆ Post harvesting:

• Threshing : The process of separating grains from the main crops.

Agricultural implement → thresher

• Winnowing : The process of removing chaff from the grains.
