Cash Crops and Food Crops Class 8 Science

Cash Crops and Food Crops

What are the types of crops?




Plants that farmers cultivate are called crops. A major part of the Indian economy is played by agriculture. It's the foundation of our nation. Over 70% of Indians depend on agriculture for both food and finances. It is the principal job in rural areas. The weather and soil conditions are the two key factors that affect crop cultivation.

When used, crops can be divided into six categories: food, feed, fibre, Kharif, Rabi, and cash crops. Food crops, such fruits and vegetables, are grown for human use. Grain crops, including rice, wheat, and corn, are the most widely grown food crops worldwide.

What are food crops?

Fruits and vegetables are two examples of food crops that are harvested for human use. Grains like maize, wheat, and rice are the most widely grown food crops in the world. Food crops were the first to be obtained through agriculture.

Food crops were the first to be obtained through agriculture. A result of agricultural output and the development of civilizations is the variety of other sorts of crops.

What is a cash crop?
A crop grown for commercial purposes is referred to as a cash crop. Typically, parties other than farms purchase it. The phrase is used to distinguish between crops cultivated for market and those grown for the producer's family or for feeding their livestock.

In India, Kharif and Rabi are the two main seasons for growing crops.

What are Kharif crops?

The title "Kharif" implies fall in Arabic since the season corresponds with the start of either autumn or winter. Monsoon crops are another term for the Kharif crop because they are planted during the monsoon season.

The Kharif season differs in each state of the country, but it normally lasts from June through September. The farmers plant the crop around June and harvest it at the start of monsoon season. Kharif crops include rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, groundnut, and cotton.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
