Farm Crops

erosion is when the ground erodes and moves sediment from one place to another. Weathering is when like waves break off rocks from a cliff or something. There kinda alike but they are different too

A landspout is a type of tornado that forms from the bottom up, unlike traditional tornadoes that form from the top down. When a landspout touches down over crops, the swirling winds can flatten them due to the strong rotational forces it generates. This can occur when the touchdown point of the landspout coincides with a field of crops, leading to damage from the intense winds.

I assume you mean genetically modified, since anything that grows does so based on its genetic material. No, genetically modified crops do not take any longer to grow than their naturally-selected counterparts. When growing corn, for example, the farmer can choose from a fairly wide selection of maturity lengths, both in normal and in genetically modified.

Trees help in preventing soil erosion by holding the soil particles together with the help of their roots. Roots are like a net holding a large area of soil particles together and thus preventing soil erosion.

Farmers need to know the soil pH because it affects nutrient availability to plants. Different crops have specific pH preferences for optimal growth. Soil pH also influences the activity of soil organisms, which play a role in nutrient cycling and plant health.

Because the pore space (the space between soil particles) in sandy soil is so much larger. In sandy soils, the water is drawn by gravity downward and away from the roots quite easily, but in clay soils, the pore space is so much smaller that capillary action holds the water much more tightly. This is the same reason that clay soils flood more easily and take longer to dry out.

No, holes in oranges are not necessarily bad. They can be caused by insects or pests, but they typically do not affect the overall quality or taste of the fruit. Simply cut away the affected areas before consuming the orange.

every crop has their own requirement like photoperiod, humidity,soil quality ,availabilty of water etc like in india we have 2 types of crop rabi and kharif . Since drought and floods are unpredictable variety that can be grown in diverse climatic conditions are useful.

Topsoil is good for growing crops because it is rich in nutrients, organic matter, and beneficial microorganisms. These components help provide essential elements for plant growth, improve soil structure, and enhance water retention capabilities, leading to healthy and productive crop growth.

Any plant will prevent soil erosion. It's in their nature. Plants known as "pioneer species" are perhaps best suited for erosion control as these plants have evolved to thrive in areas that have been disturbed by landslides or construction.

Excessive moisture in the soil causes the oxygen levels in the soil to decrease, which impedes root respiration, causing the plants to suffocate and die. Poorly drained soil reduces plant growth and long-term survival.

In Thanet Earth, a high-tech greenhouse facility in the UK, a variety of produce is grown including cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes. These crops are grown using hydroponic methods and advanced technology to optimize growth conditions and produce high-quality vegetables.

Crop rotation helps preserve soil by preventing soil depletion and nutrient imbalance. By rotating different crops each season, it helps reduce the build-up of pests and diseases specific to one crop. Different crops have different root structures and nutrient needs, which can help improve soil structure and fertility over time.

A strawberry belongs to the Plantae kingdom.

Groundnuts, or, as they are most commonly called in the US, peanuts, are grown in ridges to most easily facilitate the harvester. The harvester has to dig them up in a very similar way to potatoes, and so has a similar digging mechanism. The ridges also provide other benefits such as helping to direct excess water which could facilitate disease dvelopment away from the crop.

Planting the same crop over several years in the Great Plains depletes the soil of specific nutrients, leading to decreased soil fertility. This can result in reduced crop yields and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Crop rotation or the use of cover crops can help replenish nutrients and maintain soil health.

If the summer fallow practice left the soil bare of any plant materials or residue, the soil was left exposed to potential erosion. Modern conservation tillage practices have greatly reduced this possibility.

In areas where there is insufficient natural precipitation to produce the crops, tube wells provide an important source of the water necessary to grow the crop to maturity. In the western US, for example, there are many areas which are very productive with a great variety of crops that could not be grown without the addition of irrigation water. In areas without access to a river system to bring water to the fields, wells provide that source of water.

Flax grows best in cool, temperate climates with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Regions such as Canada, northern Europe, and parts of the northern United States are known for producing high-quality flax due to their favorable growing conditions.

Supplemental watering by cultivational, manual or mechanical means according to plant-specific moisture needs and without chemicals is a definition of organic farming irrigation. Cultivational means reference the use of gravity in surface irrigation. Manual or mechanical methods respectively refer to the use of hand-held cans and of pumps in center-pivot sprinkler systems and in drip irrigation.

We all know that roots of trees firmly hold on to the soil. As trees grow tall, they also keep rooting deeper into the soil. As the roots of trees spread deep into the layers of soil, they hold it tightly, thus preventing soil erosion. Soil under a vegetative cover is saved from erosion due to wind as this cover acts as a wind barrier.
