About Field Crop Production

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

This page brings together study material on how field crops are established, grown and handled after harvest. The mind maps on tillage and on establishment compare ploughing with minimum tillage. They look at weeds, pests, soil, yield, fuel, labor and cost. The Seed Rate mind map works through plant numbers, tillers and winter losses. The Grain Quality mind map covers starch, protein and lipids.

Where to start

Begin with the Tillage mind map. It gives you the vocabulary of conventional and non-inversion systems, with depths and costs. Then open Establishment (Ploughing vs Min Till) to see the trade-offs side by side. Move on to Seed Rate and Grain Quality once the basics feel familiar.

  • Tillage and establishment: soil, germination, drilling.
  • Crop types: the Agronomy-Crop Plants flashcards, plus cereals, pulses and grasses decks.
  • Plantation crops: maps on tea, coconut, cocoa and pepper.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. Crop Production - Quiz #1 asks about plant families, soil minerals and cell types, so it suits a first check. Crop Production - Quiz #2 follows on. Short quizzes on barley, soybeans and potatoes let you focus on one crop. When a question catches you out, go back to the matching map and flashcards, and note what you missed.

Who it suits

The material runs across university, professional and school levels. One flashcard deck is aimed at Leaving Cert Agricultural Science style questions, while many quizzes read like university course tests. Teachers can pick a map or a deck and use it as it is. All of it was made by GoConqr users, so check anything you plan to rely on against your own course notes.

Next step

Choose one crop or one tillage system today, take a quiz on it, and see which map you want to reread.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Tillage mind map. It sets out conventional and non-inversion systems, working depths and rough costs, which helps with many other resources here. After that, try Crop Production - Quiz #1 to see which areas need more attention, then move to the establishment maps.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are more than 50 mind maps. Some deal with growing practice, such as tillage, establishment, seed rate, germination, soil and rotations. Others focus on single crops, including rice, potatoes, tea, coconut, cocoa and pepper. One covers grain quality, and another looks at abiotic factors that affect productivity.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so they come from many contributors with different course styles and levels.

Which levels and exams do they suit?

Most of the material suits university students and professional candidates, with a solid share for school students. One deck mentions Leaving Cert Agricultural Science. Teachers can also use the maps and decks as ready-made material. Check topic names against your own course before relying on a resource.

Are there flashcards for crop names?

Yes. There are over 40 flashcard decks. Agronomy-Crop Plants lists crops such as alfalfa, potatoes, lentils and rye. Other decks cover botanical names, cereals and millets, pulses, grasses and crop terms, so you can practice identifying crops and key vocabulary.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby resource, such as a crop-specific quiz or a general map on cropping systems. A free account also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, so you can fill the gap with material that matches your course.
