Introduction
Over 50% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; oceans, seas, and lakes occupy 72% of the total surface area, soil constitutes 26% and only 2% of the Earth's surface is covered with rock. That leaves only 3% of the Earth's surface (mostly rock) to be cultivated and used for industrial and residential purposes. Agriculture is one of the most important parts of human life because the crops grown in the soil help provide the food, medicines, fuels, and other resources for human survival and growth. The food crops cultivated on the lands also form the basis for the transportation of food to other regions and countries and in turn, contribute significantly to the economy of these other countries.
