What are the farming activities?

Farming activities mainly include the following categories:

1. Soil preparation: This includes activities such as ploughing, soil preparation and tillage, aiming at improving soil texture, improving soil fertility and providing a good soil environment for crop growth.

2. Sowing: Sowing crop seeds on the land to provide a foundation for crop germination and growth.

3. Fertilization: By adding organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer to the soil, the nutrients in the soil are supplemented and the nutrients needed for crop growth are provided.

4. Weeding: manually or mechanically remove weeds in the field, reduce the competition of weeds for crop growth, and ensure the growth space and nutrient supply of crops.

5. Sparse the seedlings and disperse the seedlings: after the crops grow certain leaves, according to the growth capacity and the required growth space of the crops, the over-dense seedling stage should be spaced at a certain distance in time to facilitate the normal growth of the crops.

6. Pest control: The method of combining pesticide and biological control is adopted to control crop pests and reduce crop losses.

7. Irrigation: According to the water demand of crops and the humidity of soil, appropriate irrigation should be carried out in time to ensure the normal growth and development of crops.

8. Harvest: according to the maturity of crops, harvest crops in an appropriate way to ensure the quality and yield of crops.

9. Post-treatment: including straw treatment, straw returning, land reclamation and other activities to ensure the sustainable utilization of cultivated land and the restoration of soil fertility.

These are the main steps of agricultural activities. Different regions and crops may have some specific agricultural activities, but they generally aim at promoting crop growth and increasing yield.
