--------------------------------------------
Various tasks performed by farmers for crop production are termed as Agricultural practices
- Preparation of soil :- It involves loosening of the soil or turning it. This process enables the roots to penetrate easily. It aerates the roots by providing the air trapped in between the particles of soil. It also provides favourable conditions for the growth of worms and microorganisms which increase the fertility of the soil.
- Sowing :- It is the process of addition of seeds into the soil. Seeds are sown in the field by two methods namely, broadcasting and transplanting.
- Adding manure and fertilizers :- Manuring is the step where nutritional supplements are provided and these supplements may be natural (manure) or chemical compounds (fertilizers).
- Irrigation :- Irrigation is the supply of water. Sources of water can be wells, ponds, lakes, canals, dams etc.
- Protecting from weeds :- Weeds are unwanted plants which grow among crops. They are removed by using weedicides, by pulling them by hands and some are removed during soil preparation.
- Harvesting :- Once the crop is matured, it is cut and gathered, this process is called harvesting. Followed by harvesting, grains are separated from the chaff either by threshing or manually in small scale (winnowing)
- Storage :- Grains yielded are stored in granaries or bins at godowns for later use or marketing.In order to protect grains from pest and rodents- cleaning, drying, fumigation, etc are done prior to storing.
