Question

Give different steps of agricultural practices in sequence.

Answer 1

The measures that are taken to grow crops are called agricultural practices. Steps of agricultural practices are:

1. Soil preparation: The soil is plowed, leveled and manured before sowing the seeds.

2. Sowing: Seeds of good quality are sowed or dispersed in the soil.

3. Manuring: The nutrients are provided to the seeds at regular intervals. Manure is the decomposition product of plant and animal wastes.

4. Irrigation: The water is provided at regular intervals.

5. Weeding: Weeds or unwanted plants are removed using weedicides or removing them manually.

6. Harvesting: After the crop is fully grown, it is cut and gathered. This process is called as harvesting.

7. Storage: The harvested crop is then stored for further use or marketing.
