how do biotic and abiotic factor affect crop production
Answers
Answer:
Biotic factors such as pests, insects and diseases reduce the crop production. A pest causes damage to our crops by feeding. Weeds also reduce crop productivity by competing with the main crop for nutrients and light. Similarly, abiotic factors such as temperature, wind, rain etc. affect the net crop production.
Answer:
The biotic factors include living organisms like honey bees and earthworms who help in better crop production while pests (insects and rodents) and microbes that produce bad effect on crop production.
The biotic factors are the climatic conditions and non-living natural resources like soil, water and air. They also affect crop production since favourable conditions of temperature; humidity and mineral nutrition improve crop production.
