Study Notes
Soil Preparation
- Ploughing is done to loosen and turn over the soil, preparing it for seeding and promoting healthy plant growth.
Crop Rotation
- Crop rotation is a practice that involves growing different crops in the same field in a specific order to improve soil fertility and structure.
Water Management
- Irrigation is used in crop production to supply crops with adequate water, especially during periods of drought or when rainfall is insufficient.
Mixed Cropping
- Mixed cropping is a type of crop rotation that involves growing two or more crops together in the same field, and one of its benefits is that it promotes biodiversity and reduces pest and disease pressure.
Post-Harvest Handling
- Threshing is a process in crop production that involves separating grains from the rest of the plant, such as chaff and straw, to prepare them for storage or further processing.
