    Crop production involves growing plants on a large scale. There are two types of crops - kharif crops grown in the rainy season like rice and maize, and rabi crops grown in winter like wheat and mustard. Basic practices of crop production include preparing soil, sowing seeds, adding manure and fertilizers, irrigating, removing weeds, harvesting, and storing crops. Sowing involves scattering seeds into the ground by hand or with a seed drill for even planting in rows. Irrigation provides water to crop plants from sources like rivers, canals, and wells. Harvesting is the cutting and gathering of mature crops, either by hand or machine. Crops are stored in bags and silos after harvesting.

    CROP

     When plants of same kind are grown and cultivated at


    one place on a large scale, it is called a crop.
    TYPES OF CROPS
    Kharif Crop:- The crops which are sown in rainy season are
    kharif crops.
    Examples: Paddy, maize, soyabean, groundnut, cotton etc.

    Rabi Crop:- The crops grown in the winter season are


    called rabi crops.
    Examples: Wheat, gram, pea, mustard, linseed etc.
    BASIC PRACTICES OF CROP
    PRODUCTION
     Preparation of Soil
     Sowing
     Adding manure and fertilisers
     Irrigation
     Protecting from weeds
     Harvesting
     Storage
    SOWING
    *The process of scattering or putting seeds into the
    ground is called sowing.
    *Before sowing good quality seeds are selected.
    Good quality seeds are clean and healthy, free from
    infection and diseases.
    *There are two methods of sowing seeds-
    SOWING BY HAND and SOWING WITH A SEED DRILL.
    *Sowing with a seed drill is considered better than
    sowing with hand because-
    1. The seeds are in regular rows
    2. it saves time and labour.
    Manures- Fertilisers-
    1. A manure is a natural substance 1. A fertiliser is a salt or an
    obtained by the decomposition of organic compound.
    animal wastes like cow dung, human
    waste and animal residue.
    2. Fertilisers are prepared in
    2. Manure can be prepared in the factories.
    fields.

    3. A manure provides a lot of


    3. A fertiliser does not
    organic matter like humus to the provide any humus to the
    soil. soil.
     All the crop plants need water for their growth.
     It is, therefore, necessary to supply water to the crop
    plants in the fields, periodically.
     The process of supplying water to crop plants in the fields
    is called irrigation.
     Irrigation requirements of crops depends upon the nature
    of the crop, nature of the soil and season.
     Sources of irrigation are rivers, canals, wells, tube-wells,
    dams (reservoirs), ponds and lakes.
     Traditional methods of irrigation are:-
    1. Moat (Pulley System) 3. Dhekli
    2. Rahat (Lever System) 4. Chain Pump
     Modern methods of irrigation are:-
    1. Sprinkler System 2. Drip System
     The unwanted plants which grow alongwith a cultivated
    crop are called weeds.
     The process of removing weeds from a crop field is called
    weeding.
     The best time for the removal of weeds is before they
    produce flowers and seeds.
     The various methods of weeding are:-
    1. Removal of weeds by pulling them out with hand.
    2. Removal of weeds by using a trowel.
    3. Destroying the weeds by spraying special chemicals
    called weedicides.
    HARVESTING STORAGE OF
    FOOD GRAINS

    The cutting and gathering The practice or means of


    of the matured food crop keeping grain until it is sold
    is called harvesting. It is or used is called storage.
    done either by hand using The large scale storage of
    a sickle or by a motorised food grains is done in gunny
    machine called harvester. bags and in grain silos.
