Crop Loss
Crop loss refers to the reduction in the quantity or quality of agricultural produce due to various factors. These factors can include adverse weather conditions, such as droughts or floods, pests, diseases, and poor soil health. When crops fail, farmers may face significant financial challenges, impacting their livelihoods and food supply.
Preventing crop loss is essential for ensuring food security and economic stability. Farmers can adopt practices like crop rotation, integrated pest management, and soil conservation to mitigate risks. Additionally, advancements in agricultural technology, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and precision farming, aim to enhance crop resilience against potential threats.
