Key concepts: Crop Production and Management (Class 8 Science)
This chapter covers how crops are grown and managed — agricultural practices from preparing the soil to storage.
- Crops & seasons
- Kharif crops grow in the rainy season (e.g. paddy); rabi crops grow in winter (e.g. wheat).
- Agricultural practices
- The steps: soil preparation, sowing, adding manure/fertilisers, irrigation, weeding and harvesting.
- Manure vs fertiliser
- Manure is natural (decomposed waste) and improves soil; fertilisers are chemical and supply specific nutrients.
- Irrigation
- Supplying water to crops by methods like wells, canals and modern drip/sprinkler systems.
- Storage & food from animals
- Grains are dried and stored to prevent spoilage; animal husbandry provides food like milk and eggs.
💡 Exam tips for Crop Production and Management
- Remember the two crop types: kharif (rainy/monsoon) vs rabi (winter) with their examples.
- Manure improves soil texture; fertilisers give nutrients but overuse harms the soil.
Sample questions
Rearing animals on a large scale for food is called:
Animal husbandry is the large-scale rearing of animals for milk, eggs, meat, etc.
When seeds are put in water before sowing, what happens to the damaged seeds?
Damaged/hollow seeds are lighter (contain air), so they float and can be removed; healthy heavy seeds sink.
Assertion (A): Leguminous crops are often grown in rotation with cereals. Reason (R): Their root nodules host Rhizobium which fixes atmospheric nitrogen. Choose the correct option.
Legumes are rotated with cereals precisely because Rhizobium in their nodules restores soil nitrogen — R explains A.
