what is crop production

Crop production is the process of growing crops for domestic and commercial purposes. It involves various steps such as land preparation, planting, watering, fertilizing, pest control, and harvesting. The crops produced on a large scale include rice, wheat, maize, soybean, cotton, and tobacco. The importance of crop production is related to harvested areas, returns per hectare (yields), and quantities produced. Crop yields are the harvested production per unit of harvested area for crop products. The actual yield that is captured on the farm depends on several factors such as the crops genetic potential, the amount of sunlight, water and nutrients absorbed by the crop, the presence of weeds and pests. Crop production is a common agricultural practice followed by worldwide farmers to grow and produce crops to use.
