- 2. Process of cutting and collecting the crops - When the crops become mature, they are cut manually using a sickle or with a machine called harvester.(Gathering)
- 3. Nitrogen fixing bacteria - in the root nodules of leguminous plants, some nitrogen fixing bacterias are found. They can change nitrogen into nitrate. eg: in roots of pees and beans
- 6. Break down of animal wastes into ammonia by bacterias - Some bacterias break down the dead remains and animal wastes releasing ammonium compounds into the soil.(Mineralization) eg: clostridium
- 7. Supply of water to the field - Sufficient supply of water is required for the proper growth of crops.It is the process of watering the crops periodically (Watering) eg. drip irrigation
- 8. Adding manures to the soil - To replenish the nutrients of the soil, manures and fertilizers are added to the soil. It is also done by mixed croping etc. eg: mulching
- 9. Rearing of honeybee - Farming of honeybee is done on large scale for honey which is rich in sugar and minerals (beekeeping) eg: Apis mellifera is most commonly reared by farmers
- 11. Growing of plants or raising of animals - It is branch of science that deals with the growth of plants and animals for human needs.(Cultivation or Farm Management) eg: pisciculture

Down
- 1. Conversion of ammonia into nitrogen - Some nitrifying bacterias in the soil change ammonia into nitrate. eg: nitosomonas
- 4. Rearing of fish - Fishery is the farming of fish for earning (Fish farm) eg: salmon and rohu are most important fish for fish farmming
- 5. Garden Care - It is an art of growing and production of fruits and vegetables and ornamental plants.(Garden Management) eg: croping of rose apples etc.
- 10. Loosening and turning of top soil - The first step in crop production for preparing soil is to loose and turn it manually or by using plough (Tilling)
- 12. Spreading the seeds in the soil to germinate - The seeds must be sown in the field at reasonable depth and with proper spacing in proper season. It is done either manually or by using drill.(Spreading of seeds)
