To cultivate a crop successfully and profitably, a farmer has to perform many tasks in a sequence one after the other. The various tasks performed by a farmer to produce a good crop are called agricultural practices. The various agricultural practices which are carried out at various stages of paddy crop production are: Sowing seeds in a nursery→Tilling the soil→Transplanting seedlings to fields→Manuring→Irrigation →Controlling pests→Harvesting→ Storing of harvest

In addition to these regular agricultural practices, one more agricultural practice called rotation of crops is undertaken sometimes to improve the fertility of soil and increase the crop yield.
