2. What is the project about?
ANS. This project is about the steps
followed by the farmer to get the best
crop. And also to know about types
of crops.
Why we choose the project
ANS. We choose this project in order to
know the efforts made by ‘kisan’ or
farmer who provide us food all the
year round.
Project
Overview
3.
4. o Farmers performs the following 8 major steps :
1. Crop selection
2. Land preparation
3. Seed selection
4. Seed Sowing
5. Irrigation
6. Crop growth
7. Fertilizing
8. Harvesting
FARMING STEPS
6. What Are The Sources Of Infromation For The Farmers?
Farmers rely on :
1.AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.
2.FELLOW FARMERS.
3.FIELD AGENTS OF SEED, PESTICIDE AND FERTILIZER COMPANIES.
4.TV AND RADIO PROGRAMS.
5.NEWSPAPERS.
7.
8. Problems faced by the farmers :
1. Farmer has to travel to offices of agricultural department for
information. This is a costly and time consuming activity. Availability
of government officials is unpredictable.
2.Radio or TV programs are broadcast at a predefined schedule which
may or may not be convenient for the farmer. Information should be
available to the farmer on demand and should be personalized to his
needs. Majority of farmers in villages either do not have access to
newspapers or lack of education makes their access limited.
3.Most of the information broadcast may not be specific to a farmer’s
needs.
4.Fellow farmers do not have the best or most up to date knowledge.
5.Field agents of pesticide or seed companies are unable to pay
frequent and timely visits to all farmers.
9.
10. 1.Rabi, Kharif and Zaid Crops in India Kharif crops.
2. The Kharif crop is the summer crop or monsoon crop in India.
Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains in
July, during the south-west monsoon season. Major Kharif crops of
India include Millets (Bajra and Jowar), Paddy (Rice), Maize, Moong
(Pulses), Groundnut, Red Chillies, Cotton, Soyabean, Sugarcane,
Turmeric etc.
3. Rabi Crops The Rabi crop is the spring harvest or winter crop in
India . It is sown in October last and harvested in March April every
year. Major Rabi crops in India include Wheat, Barley, Mustard,
Sesame, Peas etc.
4. Zaid Crop This crop is grown in some parts of country during
March to June. Prominent examples are Muskmelon, Watermelon,
Vegetables of cucurbitacae family such as bitter gourd, pumpkin,
ridged gourd etc.
14. Comparative pricing of different crops. For some crops
government releases prices of the crop at the time of
seeding.
Market demand and sale potential of the crop.
Budget required for the cultivation of each crop.
Feasibility of the crop considering climate and quality
of land.
Crop productivity compared with other alternatives
15. 1. Crop or varietal adaptability. The crop(s) and
the variety (ies) to be grown should be selected
based on their adaptability to the prevailing
conditions in the farm. A useful guide is to
identify the crops growing in the farm and in
the neighborhood. An interview of the
neighboring farmers will also provide valuable
information as to the probability of success, or
failure, of growing certain preferred crops.
Furthermore, it is an advantage to have access to
lists of different crops under the various plant
classification based on natural adaptation or
habitat.
16. STEP 2:LAND
PREPARATION
Effects of any disease from the previous cultivation and
steps needed to minimize this impact.
Fertilizers needed to bring land to its normal fertility
depending upon the previous crops and fertilizer used.
Layout and design of the field with respect to crop for
efficient irrigation.
Latest techniques for leveling the fields and their cost.
The following slides show several examples of timelines using SmartArt graphics.
Include a timeline for the project, clearly marking milestones, important dates, and highlight where the project is now.
Prepare slides for the appendix in the event that more details or supplemental slides are needed. The appendix is also useful if the presentation is distributed later.
