AGRICULTURE - Class 8 Video Lecture

sure we shall learn about major crops
grown all over the world and
agricultural development major crops
food demand of growing population can be
meet by growing a large variety of crops
all over the world crops are classified
into food crops fiber crops and beverage
crops major food crops of the world are
vide rice maize and millets jute and
cotton are fiber crops important
beverage crops are tea and coffee
rice is one of the major food crops of
the world this Karif crop needs high
temperatures of about 25 degrees Celsius
high humidity and an annual rainfall of
about 100 centimeter
China is the leading country in
production authorized China leads in the
production of rice followed by India
Japan Sri Lanka and Egypt
you
huit requires temperature below 25
degree Celsius and about 50 to 75
centimeter rainfall and lomi type of
soil
millets can be grown on less fertile and
sandy soil
they have high nutritional value
Jobar Basra and Wragge are millets
commonly grown in India
rhaggy is rich in iron calcium other
micronutrients and roughage
the countries where millets are grown
are Nigeria China and Niger
mieze is both a food crop and photograph
it requires moderate temperature 21
degrees Celsius to 27 degrees Celsius
moderate rainfall 75 centimeter and lots
of sunshine for growth
USA Brazil China Russia Canada and
Mexico are the countries where maize
grown abundantly cotton requires high
temperature light rainfall 210
frost-free days a year and bright
sunshine for its group China USA India
Pakistan Brazil and Egypt are the
leading producers of cotton
jute is also known as the golden fiber
it grows well on well-drained fertile
alluvial soil it requires high
temperature during the growing season
heavy rainfall and the humid climate
the leading producers of toot are India
and Bangladesh coffee a beverage crop
requires a warm and wet climate and
well-drained loamy soil Brazil is the
leading producer of this crop followed
by Colombia and India
tea one of the main beverage crops is
also a plantation crop it also needs
well-drained loamy soils and gentle
slopes that can be terrorists for
cultivation it is a labor intensive crop
and requires a large number of skilled
labor to plug the leaves agriculture in
India almost 75% of India's population
is dependent on agriculture the size of
an average land holding in India is 2.3
hector's
the small size of holdings in India is a
result of fragmentation and subdivision
of farms
this is the reason that bulk of farmers
in India live below the poverty line
the government of india has taken some
initiative for improving the farmers
condition by providing good quality of
seeds pesticides and fertilizers
district officers trained farmers in
newer and better method of cultivation
farmers are given loans from
nationalized banks at low rate of
interest
Green Revolution 1960s are the
culmination of the Indian government let
us find out the difference between
agriculture in developing and developed
country
in India many farmers continue to follow
primitive methods of agriculture as a
result they barely managed to feed
themselves and many are unable to return
the loans they have taken from the banks
in USA farmers uses highly advanced
technology everything is mechanized even
the taking of animal dung of the field
the others fertilizers seeds and spare
parts for his machines on the net
he also uses the internet to check the
prices of food grains being coated in
the market
summary
agriculture is one of the oldest
occupations of humans agriculture yield
depends on the climate soil Legation
size of land and the techniques used
rice wheat maize and millets are the
important food grains in the world
cotton coffee tea and jute are some cash
crops
that is all in this lesson keep learning
