Answer 2

Food crops are those that are planted for the purpose of feeding humans.

• Food crop production is critical for humanity's well-being, but rapidly changing global climatic circumstances offer a substantial threat to crop production due to the emergence of biotic and abiotic stress factors that cause significant crop loss and so pose a threat to global food security.
• We must protect crops from infections such as ectoparasites, viruses, bacteria, oomycetes, fungus, protozoans, and nematodes in order to preserve food balance.
• Vegetable crop cultivation is a significant economic sector of the agriculture industry. Diseases, insects, and weeds now account for 25% of crop losses, affecting economic values, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The annual destruction of rice by blast disease is a famous example.
• Examples of the food crops:
• Rice is the main food crop in the majority of the country's regions. Rice is a Kharif crop that requires high temperatures, a lot of rain, and a lot of humidity to thrive.
• Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the country's north and north-western regions. It's a rabi crop that needs 50-75 cm of rain every year.
• Jowar, bajra, and ragi are three of the most important millets farmed in the country. They are known as coarse grains and are very nutritious. It thrives in areas with consistent rainfall throughout the year.
• Maize is a Kharif crop that is utilised for food as well as fodder. It thrives in alluvial soils.
• India is the world's largest producer and consumer of pulses. Pulses can thrive in even the driest of environments. These are leguminous crops that assist improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere.
