A combine is used to cut crops

Caring for Crops (weeding, fertilizer, pest control)

Weeding by using herbicides - chemicals that kill or alter the growth of weeds
Using manure as a fertilizer to help crops grow
Rotating Crops - different crops are planted in a regular sequence so that a crop that leaches the soil of one kind of nutrient is followed during the next growing season by a crop that returns that nutrient to the soil
Ariel Application - now what is commonly used for what was formerly known as crop dusting - spraying crops with crop protection products from an agricultural aircraft
