Crop cycle

The agricultural cycle is the annual cycle of activities associated with crop growth and harvesting (plant). Among these activities are loosening the soil, seeding, special watering, moving plants as they grow larger, and harvesting. A crop cannot be grown without these activities. Soil preparation, sowing, manure and fertiliser addition, irrigation, harvesting, and storage are the main steps in agricultural practises.

Annual plants are typically grown in high-resource environments and regions that 

include:

•climates with enough precipitation and temperature to allow plants to complete theirlife cycle each year

•Soils that are tilled or planted to an annual crop each year are relatively flat and well drained, and are not prone to erosion.

•soil with a high fertility

•Annual crops yield grain and fruit crops in the same growing season. 

Grain crops are typically a concentrated 

source of carbohydrates, protein, and occasionally fat that can be costeffectively stored and transported over long distances, increasing their market options and utility. 

Annual grain and oilseed crops are frequently processed for multiple uses and 

markets. 

Farmers may use management practises or technologies to improve crop growth conditions if conditions are not ideal for annual crops, such as irrigation to compensate for a lack of precipitation or black plastic to warm the soil in environments where temperatures may limit plant growth.

A Plant's Life Cycle

Every living thing on the planet has a life cycle. There is a beginning, growth, reproduction, and an end to life. All plants have a life cycle, which is critical to agriculture. 

Because plants provide a significant portion of our food, we can categorise them 

according to their life cycle. 

Crops are classified as annuals, biennials, or perennials. But first, before we get into 

the classification of some agricultural 

crops, let's look at the plant life cycle.

Where it all starts

Plants begin life as tiny seeds. Seeds contain a plant that includes leaves,stems, and roots. Germination is the first step a seed 

takes on its journey. Germination occurs when the plant within begins to grow aided by water, soil, and sunlight. The plant grows roots and stems as the process goes on. Stems advance upwards toward the light. Down into the soil, roots spread out. Now, leaves start to develop. Open up, ingest sunshine, and use photosynthesis to make food After that, the plant starts to produce blooms. Many plants generate blooms, which are crucial for the development of seeds. After that, the flowers are pollinated. When pollen from the stamen adheres to the pistil, flowers are pollinated. Fruit and seeds are created.

Every farmer performs following eight major steps from crop selection to harvesting:

 1.Crop Selection

 2.Land Preparation

 3.Seed Selection

 4.Seed Sowing

 5.Irrigation

 6.Crop Growth

 7.Fertilizing

 8.Harvesting
