Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic steps involved in crop cultivation?

Crop cultivation involves several key steps: land preparation, seed selection, sowing, irrigation, fertilizer application, weed control, pest management, and finally, harvesting and post-harvest handling. Following these steps with care helps ensure healthy crop growth and maximum yield.

Crop selection depends on soil type, climate, water availability, and market demand. You can consult your local Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) or use online tools for soil testing and region-specific crop recommendations. Choosing the right crop ensures better productivity and profitability.

 

Crop rotation is the practice of growing different crops on the same land in sequential seasons. It helps improve soil fertility, reduce pest and disease cycles, and maintain soil structure. For example, rotating cereals with legumes enriches the soil with nitrogen naturally.

  • Use resistant crop varieties
  • Apply biopesticides or recommended chemicals as per dosage
  • Practice crop rotation and field hygiene
  • Encourage natural predators and trap crops
  • Use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques for balanced control

Irrigation frequency depends on the crop, soil moisture, and climate. For example, wheat requires irrigation at crown root initiation and flowering stages, while paddy needs standing water during most of its growth. Drip and sprinkler systems help save water and deliver it efficiently.

Use a combination of organic (compost, manure) and chemical fertilizers (NPK) based on your soil test report. Balanced nutrient application boosts growth and prevents deficiencies. Micronutrients like zinc and boron may also be necessary for some crops.

To begin organic farming:

Avoid chemical inputs and use natural alternatives

Improve soil health with compost, green manure, and crop rotation

Obtain certification through NPOP-accredited agencies

Focus on crops with higher market demand for organic produce
