Crop Production and Management

Crop Management

• The primary goal of crop rotation is to maintain soil fertility, reduce pests and diseases, and improve crop yields.
• The most critical factor in determining crop yield is soil fertility, as it directly affects plant growth and productivity.

Pruning and Fertilization

• The purpose of pruning in crop management is to promote healthy plant growth, increase fruiting, and reduce the risk of disease.
• The benefit of using organic fertilizers in crop production is that they promote soil biota, improve soil structure, and reduce environmental pollution.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

• A key principle of integrated pest management (IPM) is the use of a combination of techniques, such as cultural, biological, and chemical controls, to manage pests and reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
