Crop
* All crops can use poultry litter as a source of fertilizer.
* All crops have a varying degree of natural herbicide tolerance
  - different root system structures
* Any crop can cause food allergy but a few food items cause most food allergy.
* Many crops are dependent on an active bee or other insect population for pollination to occur
  - honeybee pollination for cost effective production
  - under stress because of excessive rain
  - benefit from lady beetles
* Many crops have a low tolerance of high chlorides in the soil and in fertilizers
  - very low tolerance level to wind and wind blown soil
* Most crops also have spots of spider mites.
* Most crops are currently in the vegetative growth stage
  - planted to achieve a given population of healthy plants per unit of ground area
  - resistant to one or more herbicides

* Some crops rely on irrigation
* Some crops require good soil drainage
  - much less energy input than others
  - years

  - vary in susceptibility to leaf mining
* also vary greatly in their tolerance to the various components of acidity.
* are also much less expensive to grow and maintain compared to the cost of producing animals
  - body parts
  - collections
  - dependent on weather and on crowds
  - easy to rotate from bed to bed preventing a buildup of pests
  - for subsistence as well as a source of cash
  - generally most sensitive to salinity during germination and emergence
  - handles
  - large in size considering the amount of time that they have to grow
  - largely dependent on precipitation, which occurs mainly in a spring-fall bimodal pattern
  - located in fields
  - most susceptible at the seedling stage and when maturing and beginning to dry off
  - obviously dependent on environmental conditions
  - often susceptible to damage where wild boars are prevalent
  - output
  - part of whips
  - plants that are grown for food or other uses
  - rotated through the fields to replace nutrients in the soil
  - slow-growing due to long periods of below average temperatures
  - small grains, corn, sugar beets, potatoes, hay, and pasture
  - susceptible to herbicide injury when very young or as reproductive structures are forming
* are the end result of nurturing
  - foods that farmers grow
  - main components followed by livestock and trees
  - vegetables
* attract animals
  - birds
* can also be specialties if they are produced in unconventional ways
  - produce toxins under certain conditions
  - be more resistant to drought and cool weather
  - tolerate a certain amount of disease with no loss of yield or quality
  - usually tolerate higher salinity of irrigation water under higher frequency irrigation
* consist primarily of livestock feeds such as alfalfa, meadow hay, pasture, and small grains.
* consists of food groups used for life in general.
* differ in their competitive ability
  - response to water stress at a given growth stage
  - responsiveness to shelter
  - tolerance to salts
* freeze, and livestock can be killed.
* get their nutrients or food from the soil.
* grow and flowers bloom the year round
  - best in the eastern countries and animals do well on the rich grasslands of the west
* grown biologically have a longer storage life which relates to a healthier food source
  - hydroponically use water and nutrients more efficiently
* grown in South Kazakhstan include corn, small grain, hay, melons and cotton
  - the United States are critical for the food supply here and around the world
  - under stress tend to develop tolerance to blue mold at an earlier age
  - within irrigation areas can directly contaminate waters with pesticides and fertilisers
* have a wide variety of uses and are an integral part of our existence and development
  - benefits
* have different requirements
  - time requirements
  - direct effects
  - great benefits
  - properties
  - tendencies
* impoverish the soil by removing from it the raw materials for the manufacture of plant food.
* include cabbages
  - chinese cabbages
  - soybeans
  - tobacco
* includes business activities.
* involve labor.
* modified by biotechnology can one day produce healthier and more nutritious food.
* need attention.
* play crucial roles
  - many benefits
  - more energy for people than cattle, at a higher trophic level
  - shades
* remain true to their parent and mature early.
  - an adequate supply of nutrients
  - compromises
  - solar energy to develop and grow
  - varying amounts of phosphorus relative to nitrogen depending upon the crop produced
* requirements The plant nutrients in biosolids are mostly organic.
* respond to many factors as they determine their daily water requirements.
* serve purposes.
* shade more and more of the soil as they grow, but soil evaporation continues.
* sown using no-tillage rely primarily on herbicides and competition to kill weeds.
* stunted by low fertility are often yellowish.
* suffer droughts, floods, pests, weeds, and soil constraints
  - from lack of moisture and inadequate nutrition, and current yields are very low
* survive earthquakes.
* take in and store the energy from the sun
  - up phosphorus in a soluble form
* tend to grow faster in warmer conditions.
* use the nutrients, and bacteria that remain in the reclaimed water die off
  - water for several purposes
* vary greatly in their tolerance to acidity
  - in the tolerance to sodium
* vary in their attractiveness to the moths as sites for laying their eggs
  - specific nutrient needs
  - tolerance to soluble salts
+ Intercropping
  * Intercropping' is growing two or more crops next to each other at the same time. The main purpose of intercropping is to produce more crops in a given area. Crops are selected such that their nutrient requirements are different. This way, the crops can give the same returns but require less space.
+ Milot: Cities in Haiti
  * The most important economic activity in Milot is farming. Some crops are sugar cane, cacao, tobacco and citrus fruits like orange.
+ Monte Plata, Economy: Settlements in Dominican Republic
  * Farming is also an important activity. Some crops are sugar cane and fruits like orange.
+ Plantation
  * A 'plantation' is a large farm which is specialized on farming one type of crop. The crops grown on plantations are usually for export, and not for local use. Crops grown on plantations include banana, sugarcane, coffee, tea, cotton and tobacco.
+ River, Important rivers: Biomes
  * Many crops are grown along the sides of the Mississippi. It was also used for transport. The Mississippi flows through the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
+ Soil erosion: Agriculture :: Soil
  * This is a serious problem for people who want to grow crops. Crops are the foods that farmers grow. If the soil has eroded, the crops will not grow very well.
+ Toledo District: Districts of Belize
  * The economy of Toledo relies heavily on agriculture. Crops grown include beans and corn, as well as rice. Cacao is grown for the renowned Maya Gold chocolate.
