(1) name of crops grown
(ii) time of growth and harvest,
(iii) irrigation process.
(iv) kind of fertilizers and manures used.
(v) methods of storage of grains.​

Answer 1

According to your question , i have to answer the questions given above :-

so , by visiting a village i collected some information about the farming .

1. Farmers grew the Rice (Paddy) in their Field .

2. Paddy is a kind of Kharif crop and basically sowing time is in the month of June-July and it is harvested in the month of November-December in India.

3. As Paddy is a Kharif crop so , it needs a lot of water. So, Paddy is shown when the Monsoon arrives in India.

4. Most of the farmers use Manures as it doesn't harm the crops. Note :- farmers in some part of India uses Cold drinks (Coca-cola , Pepsi) to kill pests as they are cheaper than the chemical pesticides.

5. After the harvesting grains are sun dried and then stored in drums filled with Nitrogen gas or they are stored in Silos in large Scale.

Answer 2

Answer:

i. Name of the crops: wheat

ii. Time of growth and harvest: the beginning of autumn and harvests at the end of the Spring season.

Explanation:

i. name of crops grown:

• Spring is the meaning of the word "Rabi" in Arabic.
• Since these crops are harvested in the spring, the name makes sense.
• Some of the important rabe crops grown in India include wheat, barley, mustard, and green peas.
• The second-largest producer of wheat worldwide is India. Its agricultural income is heavily reliant on this rabi crop.
• Indians eat a lot of wheat, especially in the northern parts of the country.

ii. time of growth and harvest:

• Typically, the Rabi season begins in November and lasts through March or April.
• Since the monsoon season is already over by November, irrigation is mostly used to cultivate the Rabi crop.
• In fact, unexpected rain in November or December can destroy the harvest.
• Farmers plant the seeds at the start of autumn, and a spring harvest follows

• During the growing season, wheat needs chilly temperatures between 14°C and 18°C.
• The optimal rainfall range is between 50 and 90 centimeters.
• Wheat, however, needs strong sunshine and slightly warmer conditions throughout the spring harvesting season.
• The main wheat-producing states in India are Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh.

iii. irrigation process:

• The critical growth stages of the high-yielding wheat varieties, namely Crown root initiation, tillering, jointing, flowering, milk, and dough, which occur at 21–25 days after sowing (DAS), 45–60 DAS, 60–70 DAS, 90–95 DAS, 100–105 DAS, and 120–125 DAS, respectively, should receive five to six irrigations. The most crucial irrigation is at the CRI stage.

iv. kind of fertilizers and manures used:

• The only potassic fertilizers on the market right now are potassium sulphate and muriate of potash.
• Both are beneficial for wheat. Along with the major nutrients (N, P, and K), micronutrients, particularly zinc, have shown positive results in several instances.

v. methods of storage of grains:

• Before storing, the grains should be completely dried.
• The grain's moisture content has a direct impact on how long it can be stored.
• Grains with a moisture content of less than 10% keep well.
• To prevent pests like rats from living in the stored grain, the pits, bins, or godowns should be moisture-proof and fumigated.
• Rats respond very well to zinc phosphide.
