    Crop Production and Management

    In order to provide food for a large population - regular production, proper management and
    distribution of food is necessary.

    Crop : When plants of the same kind are grown and cultivated at one place on a large scale,
    it is called a crop.

    In India, crops can be broadly categorised into two types based on seasons - Rabi and
    Kharif crops.
    Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield. Good variety of
    seeds are sown after selection of healthy seeds. Sowing is done by seed drills.
    Soil needs replenishment and enrichment through the use of organic manure and
    fertilisers. Use of chemical fertilisers has increased tremendously with the
    introduction of new crop varieties.

    Basic practices of crop production:


    (i) Preparation of Soil: One of the most important tasks in agriculture is to turn the
    soil and loosen it.The process of loosening and turning of the soil is called tilling or
    ploughing.

    (ii) Sowing: Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield.
    Good variety of seeds is sown after selection of healthy seeds. Sowing is done by seed
    drills.

    through the use of organic manure and fertilisers. Use of chemical fertilisers has

    microorganisms.Harvested food grains normally contain more moisture than required for
    storage. Large scale of storage of grains is done in silos and granaries to protect them from
    pest like rats and insects. Farmers store grains in jute bags or metallic bins.

    Food is also obtained from animals for which animals are reared. This is called
    animal husbandry.
