The document discusses the classification and important crops of India. It classifies crops into three main classes - garden crops, plantation crops, and field crops. Field crops are further classified in several ways, including place of origin (native or exotic), botanical family, economic use, and season. The document then lists the major field crops of India and provides data on the production of important food crops by state for 2018-19, with the top three producing states identified for most major crops.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. CROP: a cultivated plant that is grown on a large scale
commercially, especially a cereal, fruit, or vegetable.
A crop is a plant or animal product that can be grown and harvested
extensively for profit or subsistence. Crops may refer either to the
harvested parts or to the harvest in a more refined state. Most crops are
cultivated in agriculture. A crop may include macroscopic
fungus (e.g. mushrooms), or alga.
Most crops are harvested as food for humans or fodder for livestock. Some
crops are gathered from forests etc.
3. CLASSIFICATION OF CROPS
Importance of classifying the crops
To get acquainted with crops
To understand the requirement of soil & water for different
crops
To know adaptability of crops
To know the growing habit of crops
To understand climatic requirement of different crops
To know the economic produce of the crop plant & its use
To know the growing season of the crop
Overall to know the actual condition required to the
cultivation of plant
4. CLASSIFICATION OF CROPS
Crop plants are grouped into three main classes according to three
range of cultivation:
A. Garden crops: These are basically grown in the kitchen garden,
flower garden, backyards.
B. Plantation crops: These are grown in larger scale especially in estates.
e.g. Tea, coffee etc.
C. Field crops: Grown on large scale. Mostly seasonal crops such as rice,
wheat, cotton.
5. CLASSIFICATION OF FIELDS CROPS

limit of their origin. Crop of Indian origin are Rice, Barley,
Black gram, Gram, Mustard, Castor, Sugarcane, Cotton
grown in India, are native to India
b. Exotic or alien or Introduced crops: These crops are
grown even beyond their site if origin. Some of the crops
which are now grown in India but introduced from other
countries are Tobacco, Potato, Jute, Maize, Sunflower
ACCORDING TO THE PLACE OF ORIGIN

10. Economic classification
Classification according to use of crop plants and their products
1. Cereals:
a. Ceres (Roman word) name from Roman goddess who was “givers of
grains.”
b. Cereals are the cultivated grasses grown for their edible starchy
grains (One seeded fruit known as caryopsis).
c. In general larger grains used as staple food are rice, wheat, maize,
barley and sorghum
2.Millets: Small grained cereals like bajra, ragi. They are used as staple
food in drier region of the countries.
3.Oilseeds: The crop seeds are rich in fatty acids like sunflower, mustard,
groundnut, linseed, castor, sesame, soybean etc.
11. 4.Pulses: Seeds of leguminous crop plants used as food. They are rich in protein.
Such as Green gram, Black gram, Peas, Cowpea, Pigeon Pea, Lentil etc.
5.Feed or Forage: Refers to vegetative matter or preserved, utilized as feed for
animals. Its includes hay, silage, Pasturage and Fodder. Forage crops are
Berseem, Jowar, Sudan grass, Napier grass, Teosinte, Turnips, Velvet beanetc.
6. Fiber crops: Crop plants grown for fiber yield. Fiber may be obtained from

12. SEASONAL CLASSIFICATION
Kharif or South-west monsoon season crops:
• June-July to September-October
• warm wet weather - major period of growth
• shorter day length – flowering
e.g., rice, maize and groundnut.
Rabi crops/post monsoon crops:
• October-November to January-February
• cold dry weather - major growth period
• longer day length for flowering
e.g., wheat, mustard, barley, oats, potato, Bengal gram, berseem,
cabbage and cauliflower.
Zaid or summer crops:
• February-March to May-June
• warm dry weather- growth
• longer day-length – flowering
e.g., black gram, green gram, sesame, cowpea etc.
13. CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO
ONTOGENY
Each crop plant completes its life cycle after passing three
progressive stages of development. They are grouped according to
their life cycle.
A. Annual crops: Crop Plants that complete their life cycle within a year
of season such as rice, wheat, maize, mustard
B. Binneal crops: Crop plants having a life span of two consecutive years.
First year, growth is purely vegetative. During second year it produces
flowers Radish, carrot, Beet root, sugarbeet, cabbage
C. Perennial crops: Crops that live for more than three or more year
sugarcane, ginger, garlic, sweet potato
They occupy land for more than 30 months.
14. SPECIAL PURPOSE CROPS
i. Catch crops/contingent crops
These crops are cultivated to catch the forth-coming season.
It replaces the main crop that has failed due to biotic or climatic or
management hazards.
short duration, quick growing, harvestable or usable at any time of their
field duration and adaptable to the season, soil and management
practices. They provide feed, check weed growth, conserve soil, utilized
added fertilizer and moisture. e.g., green gram, black gram, cowpea,
onion, coriander and bajra.
15. ii. Restorative crops
These crops, which provide a good yield along with enrichment or
restoration of soil fertility or amelioration of the soils.
They fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules, shed their leaves during
ripening and thus restore soil conditions. E.g., legumes.
iii. Exhaustive crops
These crop plants, which on growing leave the field exhausted because of
a more aggressive nature. e.g., brinjal, linseed, sunflower etc.
iv. Paira crops/residual crops
These crop plants which are sown a few days or weeks before the harvest
of the standing mature crops to utilize the residual moisture, without
preparatory tillage.
The standing crop and the later sown (paira) crop become simultaneous
(forming a pair) for a short period. For e.g., rice fallow pulses black gram,
lathyrus, lentil etc.
Paira crops in succession may constitute relay cropping.
16. v. Smother crops
• smother or suppress the weed growth by providing suffocation (curtailing
movement of air) through their dense foliage developed due to quick
growing ability with heavy tillering or branching, trailing habits. e.g., barley,
mustard, cowpea, etc.
vi. Cover crops
These crop plants, which are able to protect the soil surface from erosion
(wind, water or both) through their ground covering foliage and or root mats.
e.g., groundnut, black gram, marvel grass, sweet potato
vii. Nurse crops
A companion crop nourishes the main crop by way of nitrogen fixation and or
adding the organic matter into the soil. e.g., cowpea intercropped with cereals
viii. Guard/barrier crops
These crop plants help to protect another crop from trespassing or restrict the
speed of wind and thus prevent crop damage.
Main crop in the centre surrounded by hardy or thorny crop. e.g., mesta
around sugarcane; sorghum around cotton; safflower around gram
17. ix. Trap crops
These crop plants are grown to trap soil borne harmful parasitic weeds. For
e.g.,Orobanche and Striga are trapped by solanaceous and sorghum crops,
respectively.
Nematodes are trapped by solanaceous crops (on uprooting crop plants,
nematodes are removed from the soil).
Castor in cotton, groundnut act as crop for army worm pest.
x. Augmenting crops
These sub crops are sown to supplement the yield of the main crop. e.g., mustard
or cabbage with berseem to augment the forage yield of berseem.
xi. Alley crops
These arable crops are grown in ‘alleys’ formed by trees or shrubs, established
mainly to hasten soil fertility restoration, enhance soil productivity and reduce
soil erosion.
They are generally of non-trailing with shade tolerance capacity. For e.g.,
growing pulses in between the rows of casuarina.

Crop plants are dealt with under the natural or the families under which they come in systematic arrangement.
The classification facilities in understanding the morphological character of any particular family of crop plants with different agro- botanical or morphological – agronomical characteristics:
They are cultivated grasses grown for their edible starchy grains (one seeded fruit– caryopsis).
Their larger grains are used as staple food e.g. rice, wheat, maize, barley, etc.
The word cereal was derived from the word ceres, which denotes a goddess who was believed as the giver of grains by Romans.
This classification is not a universal one. It only indicates the period when a particular crop is raised. e.g., kharif rice, kharif maize, rabi maize, summer pulse etc
