Concept:

While growing a crop, the steps followed are:

Digging the soil
  • This is an important step as it creates air spaces.
Ploughing the soil
  • It is done to aerate the soil to ensure good plant growth
  • Earlier it was done using bullock carts which are now replaced by tractors
Sowing seeds
  • It means scattering/spreading seeds on earth.
  • Seeds are spread in uniform numbers at equal intervals.
Watering seed
  • Water is an important element for the growth of the plant.
  • It can be done either manually or using irrigation facilities
  • A large number of irrigation facilities such as tunnels, canals, handpumps are available.
Removing weeds
  • Weeds are unwanted harmful plants that grow around main crops.
  • Hence it is important to remove them to ensure proper growth of the crop.
Harvesting
  • It is the final step in which mature crops are cut and send for commercial use.

Explanation:

Onion cultivation:

  • The right amount of seeds are dropped at a regular distance.
  • It should be done carefully so as not to drop too many seeds in one place.
  • After 20 days of sowing the seeds, they begin to sprout.
  • Weeds start to appear along with the onion plants.
  • Weeds need to be removed so that they do not take up all the water and fertilisers.
  • If there are too many weeds, then the onion plants will not be healthy.
  • The plants grow tall.
  • The leaves start turning yellow and drying up.
  • This means that the onions are ready to be taken out.
  • The onions are now taken out.
  • It is important that this should be done at the right time.
  • If late, the onions will rot in the ground itself and all the hard work will be wasted.
  • The dried leaves from the top of the onions are cut.
  • The sacks are filled with onions and taken in a truck to sell in the big market.

Thus, the correct way of doing it -

A. Digging to loosen the soil

C. Sowing of seeds

D. Weeding

E. Plucking the onion out

B. Cutting the dried leaves from the top of the onion
