Agriculture is intertwined with many other processes such as - cultivation, preparation of soil, sowing, irrigation, and so on. A farmer is involved in all these processes. He prepares the soil, sows the seeds, adds manure, irrigates, and harvests.

the production and management of crops is an important aspect to ensure optimal productivity in the fields. The major agricultural practices involved in crop production and management are listed below: The soil is loosened and tilted before the seeds are sown

• The entire world depends on agriculture for its food. Therefore, it is very important to produce and store the harvested crops carefully.
• The soil should be loosened and aerated properly during crop production.
• Manures and fertilizers need to be added carefully. Too much fertilizer damages the soil while too little makes the crop deficient in nutrients.
• The crops should be irrigated periodically.
• The unwanted plants should be removed from the cultivated fields. These plants absorb the nutrients provided to the crop and obstruct their growth and development.
• The matured crops are harvested mechanically or manually.
• The harvested grains are dried and stored to protect them from pests and pathogens.
  
  Agriculture provides employment either in crops and livestock productions thus improving the family's standard of living and reducing poverty level.
