This document discusses ways to improve food resources in India. It covers various topics related to crop production including improving crop yields through better seeds, fruits and vegetables. It also discusses crop seasons, nutrient management through manures and fertilizers, irrigation systems, cropping patterns, pest and disease control, animal husbandry, fish production and beekeeping. The overall aim is to maximize agricultural output through these various methods.

3. IMPROVEMENT IN CROP YIELDS . TYPES :1] Seeds : Not all seeds of plants are edible like seeds
of apple or cherries. Edible seeds include cereals,
pulses , oil seeds & nuts.
Cereals : They include crops like wheat, rice, maize,
barley etc.
Pulses : They include legumes such as chicken pea
gram, pea, black gram, pigeon pea etc.
Oil seed crop: They include cotton seed, niger ,
soybean etc.
Nuts or Dry Fruits : Nuts are rich in protiens .
Example include – coconut, peanut, date, walnut.

4. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Fruits: they include
apple
, mango, cherry, str
awberry, watermelo
n, papaya, banana,
kiwi, litchi, custard
apple, pear and
many more.

5. Vegetables: They are edible
parts of plants of herbaceous
plants . Every part of them is
eaten like the roots as carrot or
radish, stem as
onion, garlic, are eaten, leafy
vegetables like spinach
, spices like chilly, black pepper
, fodder crops & other crops
are eaten .

6. Kharif Crop : these crop grow during rainy season [ June to October] . They are also known as summer
season crops .few examples of kharif crops are –
Garlic ,lady finger, black gram, green gram, plum ,peach
etc.
Rabi Crop: these crops are grown during November to
April . Rabi crops are known as winter crops . Some
examples of rabi crops are – cabbage , cauliflower
, carrot , radish , beans etc.

7. CROP PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
India is a country which is based on
agriculture. The production include “no
cost” production “high cost” production .
High cost production is based on high
yielding varieties, improved farming
particles, modern technology ,least
agricultural , machines and implements .
Crop production management refers to
controlling the various aspects of crop
production , to obtain the maximum and
best yield . It has nutrition
management, irrigation and , cropping
pattern.

8. NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Nutrient management means controlling the selections , timing
and
amount of nutrient supply to the crops. Like living organisms, plants also require
inorganic elements are called nutrients. There are 40 elements found in the plant
ash , but only 16 elements of those elements are essential for plant growth and
development . Hence these 16 elements are called essential elements or essential
plant nutrients.

9. MANURES AND FERTILIZERS

Manures :-manures are natural fertilizers . They are bulky sources of organic matter
which supply nutrients in small quantities , and organic matter in large quantities. Manure
enrich the soil with nutrients , they add organic matter , the organic matter in manures
provides food for the soil organism . Types of manure :- Farmyard Manure [FYM]
Compost: Prepared from farm and town refuse such as vegetables and animal refuse

10. FERTILIZERS
Fertilizers provide plant nutrients , commercially manufactured using
chemicals. Fertilizers supply Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium [NPK]
. They are used for the vegetative growth. Fertilizers are divided into
following group :1] Nitrogenous fertilizers
2] Phosphatic fertilizers
3] Potassic fertilizers
4] Complex fertilizers

11. IRRIGATION
The process of supplying water to crop plants by means of
canals , wells , reservoirs, tube-wells, etc. is known as
irrigation.
Factors of controlling irrigation :
Irrigation depends on the nature of the crop Irrigation
dependent on the nature fields
1] Crop based production : some crop plants require more
water & some less water for cereals as wheat irrigation is
required before ploughing the field
2] Soil based irrigation : irrigation also depends on the nature
of the soil in which the crop is grown

12. IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS
Canal system ;in canal system , human made canals are used to
receive water from one or two reservoir
Tanks: tanks are small storage reservoir.
Wells : wells are constructed whenever exploitable ground water
are present
1] dug well and 2] tube well are two types of wells
River lift system : in this system water is directly drawn from rivers
drip and sprinkler system : this method save water and use pipes .

13. FEW PICTURES…………

14. CROPPING PATTERNS
1] mixed cropping : this is a process in which
more than one or two plants are grown
together.
2] intercropping : it aims to increase
productivity per unit area.
3] Crop rotation : the particles of growing of
different crops on a price of land in a
prepared succession.

15. WEED CONTROL & INSECT PEST
CONTROL
Weeds are the unwanted plants in the
cultivated fields.
Many insects are serious pests of plants they
attack plants in the following wayss
1] chewing insects
2] sucking insects
3] internal feeders

16. DISEASE OF CROP PLANTS
There are some names of diseases of plants
1] seed-borne disease
2] soil-borne disease
3] air-borne disease
4] water-borne disease

17. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
The branch of agriculture that deals with the
feeding , caring ,and breeding of domestic
animals is called animal husbandry . they
include :1] cattle farming
2] breeds of buffaloes

18. FISH PRODUCTION
Marine fishes :- India is a vast scope of marine
fishery . Our marine fishery resources include 7500
kms cost line and extensive deep sea . popularly
consumed fishes are as follows :1] pomphrets2
2] mackerels
3] tuna
4] eel
5] hilsa
6] salmon , etc.

19. BEES……..
Honey & bee wax are obtained from bees
There are three types of bees . They are :1] the worker
2] queen
3] drone

20. We must do our
best to improve
food resources.
