Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Organic Fertilizers / Manures Plants require nutrients for their normal growth. Soil supplies mineral nutrients to the crop. These nutrients must be in a form useable by the plants and in concentrations that allow optimum plant growth. Similarly, the soil nutrients must be properly balanced. Soil […]
Law > Civil Laws > Transfer of Property Act > Introduction The Transfer of Property Act, 1882 is one of the oldest Act in India. Property is a very wide term and would include anything which carries some value and over which the right of ownership may be exercised. In Raichand v. Dattatrya AIR 1964 […]
Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Natural Methods of Nutrient Management A nutrient Management refers to the maintenance of soil fertility and of plant nutrient supply at an optimum level for sustaining the desired productivity through optimization of the benefits from all possible sources of organic, inorganic and biological components. Plants require […]
Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Plant Nutrients Green plants are autotrophic. They require inorganic matter from outside and synthesize their own organic matter. Plant nutrients are mineral elements need by the plants for their growth, development, and maintenance. Soil is a major source of plant nutrients needed by plants for growth. […]
Science > Biology > Improvement in Crop variety > Selection and Testing of Superior Recombinants The selection and testing of superior recombinants involve picking up the better ones from the entire crop plants. The collected germ-plasm is now evaluated to identify the plants showing the desirable combination of characters. Selfing the selected plant for several […]
Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Sowing of Seeds Sowing of seeds is the most important part of crop production. This is the second step in crop production. Once the soil preparation is done, it is now time to sow the selected seeds. Sowing is the actual process of planting the seeds […]
Science > Biology > Improvement in Crop variety > Collection and Conservation of Germplasm From ancient time, humans have collected germplasm from the wild variety and domesticated it. Domestication: Domestication is the process of bringing wild species under human management. The domestication of plants is one of the first and most crucial steps in developing […]
Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Seed Dormancy Seed dormancy is the innate inhibition of germination of a viable seed even placed in the most favourable environment for germination. seed dormancy is also called the rest of the seed. Generally, Seeds are dormant once they leave their parent. It enables the embryo to […]
Science > Biology > Management of Crop Production > Preparation of Soil When plants of the same kind are grown and cultivated at one place on a large scale, it is called a crop. For example, a crop of wheat means that all the plants grown in a field are that of wheat. Modern agriculture […]
Science > Biology > Improvement in Crop variety > Improvement in Crop Variety The plant breeding technique is the combination of desirable and suitable characteristics from many selected crops into a single hybrid crop, then to multiply it and make the hybrid plant available to farmers for cropping. Thus Crop improvement refers to the genetic […]
