The measures that are taken to grow crops are called agricultural practices. Steps of agricultural practices are:
1. Soil preparation: The soil is plowed, leveled and manured before sowing the seeds.
2. Sowing: Seeds of good quality are sowed or dispersed in the soil.
3. Manuring: The nutrients are provided to the seeds at regular intervals. Manure is the decomposition product of plant and animal wastes.
4. Irrigation: The water is provided at regular intervals.
