Dear Agriculturists,
Agriculture is very vast subject in the form of theory as well as in the form of practical. The students who are doing agriculture always get confused between the seed rate, fertilizer requirement, mode of pollination, sowing and harvesting time, yield of the particular field crop, fruit or vegetable crops. Here we are going to help you to remember these facts about the particular crops in the form of table, which will help you to remember these facts throughout your life. Generally 5-6 questions are asked from these facts of the crops in every agricultural competitive exam.
