1. Crop:
A crop is any plant, microscopic fungus, or alga cultivated in agriculture or aquaculture (algaculture). Most crops are harvested as food for humans or livestock (fodder crops). Important non-food crops (industrial crops) are produced for clothing (fibre crops), biofuel (energy crops, algae fuel), or medicine (medicinal plants). The word crop may refer either to all harvested parts of a plant or to the harvest in a more refined state (husked, shelled, etc.).
2. Agriculture:
Agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of animals, plants and fungi for food, fibre, biofuel, medicinal plants and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilisation, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilisation. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. The history of agriculture dates back thousands of years, and its development has been driven and defined by greatly different climates, cultures, and technologies. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture farming has become the dominant agricultural methodology.
3. Threshing:
Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of cereal grain (or other crops) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it. It is the step in grain preparation after harvesting and before winnowing, which separates the loosened chaff from the grain. Threshing does not remove the bran from the grain.
4. Winnowing:
Wind winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures for separating grain from the chaff. It is also used to remove weevils or other pests from stored grain. Threshing, the loosening of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, is the step in the chaff-removal process that comes before winnowing.
5. Weeding:
A weed may be defined as any plant or vegetation that interferes with the objectives of farming or forestry, such as growing crops, grazing animals or cultivating forest plantations.
6. Manuring:
Manure is organic matter, mostly derived from animal faeces except in the case of green manure, which can be used as organic fertiliser in agriculture. Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen, that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. Higher organisms then feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life that comprises the soil food web. It is also a product obtained after decomposition of organic matter like cow dung which replenishes the soil with essential elements and adds humus to the soil.
