               Differentfarmers can have small or large farms on whichthey can use  differentfarming
               practices.  The  choice  of  farming  practices  woulddepend  on  the  availability  of

               financialresources(money).           Hence,          production         practices         can

               1. No-cost Production

               2. Low-cost Production
               3. High-cost Production

               Nutrientmanagement :

                     Plants     alsorequireinorganicelements      for   building    their   structure   and
                       maintainingtheirmetabolic process. Theseinorganicelements are callednutrient.

                     There  are  16  nutrientswhich  are  essential  for  plants  as  deficiency  of

                       thesenutrientswill  affect  the  physiologicalprocessess  of  plants  such  as  growth,
                       development, reproduction and susceptibility to diseases.
