in Successful Crop Farming
There are many factors to consider in crop selection, a requisite that must be undertaken before actually starting a farming venture. Even without a predetermined location and site of a farm, the crop to be grown can be decided based mainly on its marketability and profitability.
However, there are many cases especially in countries with agriculture-based economy in which the farmlot is already available. It could have been acquired through inheritance, or by purchase, or otherwise transferred through other means. Whatsoever, crop and variety selection is the first consideration in starting or developing the farm. Right decision in the selection of crop or crops to be grown, particularly perennial types, will ultimately convert into a successful farming venture.
In addition to the purpose of farming, the major factors to be considered in crop selection include the following:
1. Prevailing farm conditions. An environmental scanning should first be conducted. This involves a thorough ocular inspection and other methods to obtain information on the biotic factor that can affect plant growth and yield, soil and climatic conditions prevailing in the area, and accessibility. Here the guiding rule is: know your farm first then select the right crop.
