harvesting
storage
Selecting appropriate crops based on factors such as climate, soil type, and market demand is crucial for success.
CROP SELECTION AND ROTATION
Healthy soil is essential for crop growth. Principles of soil management include maintaining proper soil pH,
SOIL MANAGEMENT
Proper planting techniques ensure optimal germination and plant establishment.
PLANTING AND SEEDING
Providing crops with essential nutrients is critical for growth and productivity.
NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Principles include implementing irrigation systems to deliver water efficiently,
WATER MANAGEMENT
Principles of weed management include using cultural practices such as crop rotation and mulching, employing mechanical methods like tillage and hand weeding,
WEED MANAGEMENT
Pests and diseases can significantly impact crop health and yield. Integrated pest management (IPM) principles involve using a combination of cultural, biological, and chemical control methods
PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Sustainable crop production practices aim to minimize negative environmental impacts while maintaining productivity and profitability.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
refers to process choosing suitable crops for cultivation
CROP SELECTION AND PLANNING
involves choosing types of crops
CROP SELECTION
FACTORS IN CROP SELECTION
Environmental condition
Market demand
Farm resoucers
Crop suitability and compatibility
Crop rotation and diversification
considerations such as climate, soil type, and water availability
