Cereal crops were first domesticated around 9000 BCE in the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East. |
|
The first domesticated crops were generally annuals with large seeds or fruits. |
|
No longer were thousands of men needed to tend the crops, a few would suffice. |
|
While children who grew up in rural areas would work on farms doing physical labour, working with animals, and selling crops. |
|
Up to the end of the 19th century, grass and legumes were not often grown together because crops were rotated. |
|
Manufactured goods and cash crops from the Mughal Empire were sold throughout the world. |
|
These woodlands typically have a plantation structure, with even aged crops of one or two species planted for commercial purposes. |
|
There is a higher potential for erosion when producing potatoes than when growing cereals, or oilseed crops. |
|
Vegetable crops include potatoes, carrots, cabbages, brussels sprouts and onions. |
|
Holes are made for the seeds of crops such as sticky rice, maize, eggplant and cucumber are planted. |
|
Some groups could easily plant their crops in open fields along river valleys, but others had forests blocking their farming land. |
|
The Screrefennae did not raise crops, instead hunting and collecting bird eggs. |
