Question

What are the various agricultural practices required for growing crops?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Conservation tillage can provide benefits like reduced erosion and improved soil. But some farmers worry about weed control challenges and lower yields. Improve your practices. Learn from farmers. Listen to the podcast.

Answer 2

$\fbox{\large{\: Following \:are\: the\: various\ :agricultural\: practices\: required\: for\: growing\:crops\: :-}}$

• Preparation of soil
• Sowing
• Soil Replenishment
• Irrigation
• Traditional system of irrigation
• Modern system of irrigation
• Crop production

$\huge\bigstar\underline\purple{Preparation\: of\: soil}$

We knew that plants grow in soil. Plants not only anchor themselves in the soil but also get water and minerals from it.

Preparation of soil involves loosening and tumhara it. This process is known as ploughing or tilling.

$\huge\bigstar\underline\blue{Sowing}$

Planting of seeds in the soil is known as sowing. There are many ways to sowing seeds:

• Seeds can be scattered in the field manually. This is called broadcasting.
• A special implement called seed drill, can be used for sowing.

$\huge\bigstar\underline\red{Soil\: replenishment}$

Crops take nutrients from the soil for their proper growth. To replenish the fertility of the soil, farmers follow many different methods. These methods are:-

• Field fallow
• Crop rotation
• Manures
• Fertilisers

$\huge\bigstar\underline\green{Irritation}$

The supply of water to the plants in the field is known as irrigation. it is done with water from different sources: like rains, canals waterways, wells and pumps.

$\huge\bigstar\underline\blue{Traditional\: system\: of \:irrigation}$

These involve drawing water from wells, tube wells, ponds, lakes and canals using cattle or human labourer. Pumps are also used to lift water. The pulley system and the lever system are example of traditional systems of irritation.

$\huge\bigstar\underline\pink{Modern\: system\: of\: irrigation}$

These use water more effectively and ensure optimum irritation. The methods are:-

• Sprinkler system.
• Drip irritation.

$\huge\bigstar\underline\purple{Crop\: Protection}$

Protection from weeds:

The unwanted plants, that grow along with the crops, are called weeds.

Weeding can be done by following methods:-

• Manual removal
• Tilling before sowing
• Weedicides

Protection from pests:

Crops are exposed to many factors such as stray animals, birds and insects. Animals and birds can be scarred away by breathing of drums and fixing scarecrows in the field. However, there are some organisms that specifically attack and damage the crops. These organisms are known as pests.
