Crops Large: Man also found that certain constraints affected not only how much food he could grow, but also where he could grow it. crops large needed fairly flat and fertile land if they were to flourish. They also needed adequate rainfall and appropriately long growing seasons. Since the moisture requirements and growing seasons of various crops large differed quite widely, certain crops large grew better in particular regions of the world than in others.
Corn is not grown commercially in Britain. Some experimental crops large have been harvested, and if new strains could be grown in any quantity, the development would be of great significance. Large quantities are imported—about 3.4 million tons a year—primarily for animal feeds. Fruits and Vegetables. Other crops large occupied an average of 3 mil/ion acres in the late 1960's. The most important of these was potatoes (0.7 million acres, as against 1.4 million in 1946) and sugar beets (0.4 million acres, almost the same as in 1946).
TROPICAL AGRICULTURE, trop'I-kal ag'ri-kul-char, a term referring specifically to agriculture in its widest sense applied to crops large, animal husbandry, and forestry in the zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (see Fig. 1). In this tropic zone are found areas so even in climate, humidity, and daylight periods that crops large can be planted, harvested, and processed year-round. Some of these crops large are planted only once in 30 years, others once in 15 years; still others are seasonal. |
