Factors that influence Crop Production
Understanding how crops grow and develop is just one of the many variables that go into successful crop production.
- How different nutrients, the environment, and water affect plant growth.
- Changing and controlling each factor to raise the crop’s yield.
- Kharif crops are those that are grown during the rainy season (the Kharif season, which runs from June to October). Examples of Kharif crops include paddy, soybean, pigeon pea, maize, cotton, green gramme, and black gramme.
- Rabi crops are those that are raised during the winter growing season (the rabi season, which lasts from November to April). Examples of rabi crops include wheat grain, peas, mustard, and linseed.
Crop variety enhancement can be accomplished by hybridization or gene introduction.
- Crop enhancement through Hybridization: Hybridization is the act of breeding plants with different genetic compositions. This hybridization could be interspecific (between two different species of the same genus), intervarietal (between different variations), or intergeneric (between different genera).
- Crop enhancement through the Introduction of a Gene: This confers the desired traits and produces genetically modified crops. Weather, soil quality, and water availability all affect crop output and cultivation techniques. The variety that may be grown in many climatic circumstances is crucial since weather conditions like drought and flood scenarios are unpredictable.
Crop Variety Improvement
All living things and organisms require food as one of their basic needs. Different nutrients, including lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, are provided through food. Agriculture and animal husbandry are the two primary sources of food. Despite having a strong agricultural orientation, India nonetheless struggles with a food shortage because of its growing population. There are numerous strategies to stop the shortage of food for humans. Increasing production effectiveness is one. The second is giving everyone who lives in food deserts access to food, and thirdly, people need to have the money to buy food.
