Crop is the produce grown on plants or trees according to a time cycle and harvested or plucked for consumption by humans and domestic animals. This may include wheat, mango, potato, paddy, rice, maize, sugarcane, millet, barley, almond, and other crops. Preparation of the crop takes place when its grains become ripe and turn yellow and at that time all the crop plants growing in a field are cut and their particles are separated. Crops are grown in large quantities for food and other uses and farmers sow them in fields. Crops are grown in large quantities for food and other uses and farmers sow them in fields.

How to take care of the crop?

There are some important ways to take care of the crop:

1. **Seed Selection**: Select good seeds. Take into account seed quality, performance and disease resistance.

2. **Field Preparation**: Prepare the field properly. Make arrangements for appropriate fertilizer and water supply to the field.

3. **Sowing**: Sow the seeds in the field. While sowing, keep in mind the proper depth and distance of the seeds.

4. **Water Harvesting and Irrigation**: Water the crop regularly. Use good irrigation system for irrigation.

5. **Disease and pest management**: Use appropriate insecticides and pesticides to protect the crop from diseases and pests.

6. **Crop Protection**: Use appropriate methods to protect the crop properly.

How are fields irrigated?

There are various irrigation systems in India, which are used to provide water to the fields. These systems are as follows:

1. **Surface Irrigation**: This system includes flood and boundary irrigation. Water from rivers is put into canals and then distributed into smaller mines. After this, the water is distributed among the fields as per time.

2. **Sub-surface irrigation**: In this system, water is supplied to the root zone of the crops with the help of porous pipes. This allows irrigation with less water, but is not very popular due to cost and maintenance.

3. **Drip Irrigation**: In this system, water goes to the field through pipes and is then sprayed on the crops like rain. This reduces wastage of water and also prevents soil erosion.

4. **Step Irrigation**: This system is mainly prevalent in hilly areas, where there is lack of flat land. In this, fertilizer is mixed with water and delivered to the plant.
