or by human hands
 Different crops have different

 SEEDS

Soyabean Maize
 Fertilizing
 Fertilizer is soil nutrients
Fertilizers are both natural
and man made
 Fertilizers are used to make a

crop
 Healthy (quality)
 Rich (quantity)
 Fertilizing
 Fertilizers are mostly Urea,
Potassium, Phosphorous or
Nitrogen compounds
 Fertilizers are applied after

sowing seeds
 Irrigating
 Irrigation is to
supply water to
agriculture fields

A Canal
A Tube Well
Pesticiding
 Pesticiding
 Pesticides are applied to control
harmful insects, germs and
weeds (small plants)
 Pesticides must be used in

recommended quantity for

good result
 Over use of pesticide creates

‘Salinity’
 Harvesting
 Harvesting is to cut
a ready crop
 Harvesting is done
by man power with
the help of a sickle
 A modern machine
‘Harvester’ is also
used A ready wheat crop
 Threshing

 Threshing is to separate grains from

chuff after harvesting
 Threshing is done by man or animal
power
 A modern machine ‘Thresher’ is also
used
 Packaging
 Packaging is to pack grains
in jute or polythene bags /
sacks for storage
 Packaging is done by
labourers
 Packaging is also done by
special sewing machines
