A modern irrigation system that uses perpendicular pipes with rotating nozzles to distribute water like rain.

An irrigation system that delivers water directly to the roots of plants in a controlled manner, minimizing waste.

Water is not wasted as it's directly applied to plant roots.

Uneven land and areas with limited water availability.

Fruit plants, gardens, and trees.

A tool that sows seeds evenly at specific depths and distances using a tractor. Helps cover seeds with soil and protect them from birds.

Substances like manure and fertilizers that provide essential nutrients to help plants grow strong and healthy.

Growing crops in the same field continuously without giving the soil a break (fallow period) can deplete its nutrients.

Organic matter created by breaking down plant or animal waste. It helps replenish soil nutrients.

A process of adding manure to the soil to replenish nutrients lost due to continuous cultivation.

Chemical substances rich in specific nutrients produced in factories. Examples are urea, superphosphate, and potash (NPK).

Planting different crops in a sequence to replenish soil nutrients. For example, using legumes and wheat in alternate seasons.

Bacteria like Rhizobium in the roots of legumes help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form plants can use. This process helps replenish soil nitrogen.

A simple tool used for removing weeds and loosening the soil. It consists of a long wooden or iron rod with a broad, bent iron plate attached to one end.

An ancient tool used for tilling the soil, adding fertilizers, removing weeds, and turning the soil. It's typically made of wood and pulled by animals like bulls, horses, or camels.

Selecting good quality, clean, and healthy seeds is crucial for high crop yields. Farmers prefer varieties known for high yield potential.

This method involves placing seeds in water. Damaged seeds, being hollow, will float, while healthy seeds sink.

A modern tool used for ploughing, operated by a tractor, saving labor and time.

A process of supplying water to crops, essential for growth and development.

Traditional method of irrigation using a pulley system to lift water from wells or canals, powered by cattle or human labor.

Modern irrigation method using pumps powered by various sources to lift water. It's more efficient than traditional methods.

Water is absorbed by plants through their roots. This helps transport dissolved nutrients throughout the plant for growth.

Plants of the same kind cultivated on a large scale, typically for food or other purposes.

Crops grown during the rainy season, usually starting in June and ending in September in India.

Crops grown during the winter season, starting in October and ending in March in India.

Turning and loosening the soil helps the roots grow deep, breathe easily, and absorb nutrients from the soil.

The top layer of soil, rich in nutrients needed for plant growth.
