Basic Practice of Crop Production Cultivation of cops involves several
activities undertaken by farmers over a period of time.
These activities or tasks are referred to as agricultural practices.
These are as follows:1. Preparation of soil2. Sowing3. Adding manure and fertilizers4. Irrigation5. Protecting from weeds6. Harvesting7. Storage

are more important. In sowing, little if any soil is placed over the
seeds. More precisely, seeds can be generally sown into the soil by maintaininga planting depth of about 2-3 times the size of the seed.
