Agriculture is the science, which mainly deals with the diverse processes or the methods used for the cultivating different varieties of plants and livestock farming or animal husbandry on the basis of human requirements. Crop production and management is necessary to feed such a large population of India. Increasing risk of diseases, pests, insects and weeds makes it necessary to manage the crop properly to get good yield and quality of crops. In modern times, marketing, processing, distribution and after-sales service are also accepted as a part of crop production. Agriculture plays a crucial role in India’s economy. Agriculture not only provides food and raw material, but also provides employment to a huge section of the population. Organic farming practices may reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without synthetic pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.
