Study Notes
Agriculture is a key part of the world's food production and nutrition, and crop cultivation is a major subtopic in the field. Crop production must be redefined in an inventive way, along with sustainable methods, to meet the growing requirement for food and nutrition among the world's growing and developing econom
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) strives to sustain and enhance economical crop production by developing and transferring sound, research-derived knowledge to agricultural producers The USDA provides current, unbiased information on prices, volume, quality, condition, and other market data on domestic and international fruits and vegetables The Crop Production Program focuses on enhancing economical crop production through research-driven knowledge to be shared and leveraged by its users
Crop cultivation is a complex and multi-seated field, with a wide range of information on crops including grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, cotton, and tobacco Some of the key topics in crop cultivation are:
- Corn: A major crop in the United States, with topics including planting, harvesting, and management of weeds, insects, and planting
- Soybeans: A crop with topics including planting, harvesting, and management of weeds, insects, and planting
- Wheat: A crop with topics including planting, harvesting, and management of weeds, insects, and planting
- Field Management: A topic that focuses on the management of crops, including topics on field management, crop production, and crop cultivation
In order to optimize agricultural management measures for crop production and environmental protection, it is reviewed the effects of agricultural activities, including cultivation patterns Agricultural biodiversity is a key part of the ecosystem biodiversity, but it receives little concern The monoculture, environmental pollution, and habitat fragmentation caused by agricultural activities have threatened agricultural biodiversity
In order to meet the growing requirement for food and nutrition, it is also called for the development of Second generation biofuels that utilise agricultural by-products (e.g. straw) or dedicated energy crops (DECs) produced on "marginal" land A structured telephone survey of 263 livestock farmers, predominantly located in the west or "marginal" upland areas of England, captured data on attitudes and found that 7.2% and 6.3% of farmers would respectively consider growing SRC and producing respective maximum potential English crop areas of 54,603 ha and 43,859 ha
In order to enhance economical crop production, the USDA provides details on a wide range of information on crops including grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, cotton, and tobacco The USDA also provides unbiased price and sales information to assist in the orderly marketing and crop market research The USDA produces charts and maps displaying crop yields, crop weather, micromaps, and crop acreage animations
