Agriculture and cultivation of certain crops is considered to be, is always an important part in our, as a human being, it plays a vital role because it not only feeds us, it actually makes us to survive. We need to respect that for a purpose, personally I believe that we need to... I believe that we need to respect that for a purpose, personally I believe that we need to... I believe that we need to respect that for a purpose, personally I believe that we need to... Well, agriculture and cultivation has always been a part of my nation and Indian culture. And I personally believe that it is quite important to make aware about agriculture and cultivation of various crops. Maybe that's why the reason is now, nowadays in my nation, in India, the government is ensuring to teach the students from the primary level to be aware of, to make them aware of agriculture and it is important. Well, as I am a person who belongs with family background of agriculture, background of agriculture, we used to have paddy fields from my childhood, since my childhood itself. And my father used to go for the cultivation and for go for the crop cultivation. We used to cultivate various types of crops according to the seasons, like from the rainy season. In the rainy season, we have always been farming, especially in Kerala during June to May, in between May to June. Those periods we cultivate almost for 6 months, we cultivate rice and thereafter, for certain period we cultivate vegetables in the same paddy field, once after the rice being harvested. Personally, I really enjoy.

So the plant that I am really familiar with would be the mango tree as it is one of the most significant grown crops in my region which is Maharashtra, India. I have known this plant since childhood as mango has been my favourite fruit of all times. My mom used to take me to various agro-tourism courses as well as farms where they taught us how the plants were grown and what are the temperatures that they grow at as well as the water requirements for the crop to become a grown tree. Furthermore to add to it I think the growing exports for the mango tree really adds to the significance of why it is so important nowadays. I think in my country it is one of the most consumed fruit hence making it very important in my country.

I grew up in a farm during my childhood so I would say I know a lot about crops. Not only I wanted to, I had an interest in agriculture but also wanted to pursue Bachelor of Agriculture Sciences after my pre-university college. So I think I have a fair share of knowledge about crops. The particular crop I'm very fond of is banana. It is a perennial crop. There are many advantages and disadvantages when you venture on growing banana. Firstly I would say as it is a perennial crop it takes one year to give the profits and secondly it requires large amount of labor and workers to work on it to care the plants throughout the year. On the contrary there are many advantages when it comes to growing banana as a crop. It is more stability in case of crops that are grown for a short duration like tomato or chili that we tried. We often had substantial loss because of rain or because of not getting a better rate for what we have grown but banana is always a secure crop where we definitely gonna get a profit but it takes a very long duration. We have around six acres of land where we try to grow various crops together because of the availability of nitrogen. Some plants give out nitrogen to the soil but banana consumes lot of nitrogen. So I would say mixed cropping is better for banana.

That's a great question. Especially in modern times, people don't usually ponder about the crops which they use. They just buy it from the supermarkets and make dishes out of it. So, I'll start with a top to bottom approach. That is culturally speaking, flat breads like roti and naan are of staple diet in India. I come from a western region called state from Gujarat. So, the crop which we use for making roti is of course wheat. The major thing about this is it contains a lot of protein. However, there is also one more crop that I usually have it on my dish. That is rice and sometimes millets which are more nutritious compared to wheat. That would be a disadvantage for that crop. Additionally, wheat is also not gluten free. It has to be processed in a manner so that it becomes gluten free.

ok a crop I'm very familiar with is ragi and rice but I would prefer talking about ragi today because it is the most important millet it's called as finger millet in other words however it has a wide array of benefits to our health it it is known for it is known for regulating blood sugar levels especially and it's a source of calcium and iron so everyone nowadays must use ragi at least once in their diet so that they get used to the type of flavor it adds to the food and and also has multiple health benefits how I know coming to how I know about this crop is actually I belong to an agricultural family so farming is done almost every almost 8 to 10 months in a year ragi we also grow ragi and among many other crops so I tend to have a lot of knowledge about ragi it's a it's a six month crop and it's it's classified as a kharif crop in India it it wants a lot of water while growing so especially it's harvested especially soon after the monsoon ends and my grandmother and grandfather both used to work in the fields even when they were growing this crop so I had it happened to I always tagged along them and help them in your fields while doing this while harvesting I feel like I was on cloud nine especially when they harvested and they used to perform puja so it gave me a sense of satisfaction when they got good yield however I feel that
