INTRODUCTION
Crop production and development has consideration of natural hazards, environmental conditions and
quality in soil and other resources so that desired production can be achieved. In order to achieve quality
along with high production, it is essential to understand several factors those work on the crop during
development and plantation. The report will discuss various agronomic factors in the production of field
vegetables, salad and fruit crops in which main focus is given on mango and celery crop. Both crops will
be discussed for their requirements for high production and quality. Environmental conditions like
temperatures and quality of soil, water, pests, and fertilizers will be discussed. Management and
production process of crop and its outcome will be discussed in which various factors will be discussed.
Impacts on production and management through harvesting process and field practices will be discussed.
Machinery and storage process and requirements will be discussed for mango and celery crop with
consideration of conservation of quality and neutrality.
1. Assess the agronomic factors in the production of field vegetable, salad and fruit crops in integrated
and sustainable farming systems
Mango and celery have the impact of agronomic factors on the production in the field. Crops in fields
need adequate environmental conditions so that process from plantation to growing can be managed
effectively to achieve the quality outcomes. Perennial cropping systems can be changed according to
demands to achieve quality results from the agronomic factors and their in-depth knowledge.
