Abstract: Land configuration is the prime work for better growth and development of any crop. Cereals contribute to the largest area under cultivable crops in India and worldwide. Land configuration decides the effectiveness of the crop management practices regarding application of nutrient, irrigation, weed management, etc. Major land configuration practices includes raised bed preparation, rides and furrows, broad bed furrows, etc. The general farmer’s practice sowing over flatbed without any proper land configuration, leading to less significant growth and development of crops and in turn lesser yields. Therefore, it is necessary to know about the suitable land configuration for proper growth and development of crops especially cereals. Proper land configuration according to the climatic conditions of the region viz., heavy rainfall area or drought prone areas or area with salinity hazards will act as management practice to the crop.
Keywords: Plant Growth, Land configuration.
