##What is Crop Production and Protection Course?
Crop production is the process of cultivating crops for food, fiber, and other uses by managing soil preparation, planting, irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting to maximize yield and quality. Crop protection involves practices that safeguard these crops from threats, including biotic (pests, diseases, weeds) and abiotic (drought, extreme temperatures) stresses, through methods like pesticides, disease-resistant varieties, weed management, and environmental stress management.
