Dear Student

Your  question  is  not  clear  and  appears  to  be  incomplete.  Recheck  your  question  and  please be  a  little  specific  so  that  we  can  provide  you with some  meaningful  help. Looking forward to  hear from  you again!

Find some details about the topic below:

A variety of biotic factors such as pests, nematodes, diseases, etc. can reduce the net crop production. A pest causes damage to agriculture by feeding on crops. For example, boll weevil is a pest on cotton. It attacks the cotton crop, thereby reducing its yield. Weeds also reduce crop productivity by competing with the main crop for nutrients, light, and space.

Similarly, abiotic factors such as salinity, temperature, etc. affect the net crop production. Some natural calamities such as droughts and floods are unpredictable. Their occurrence has a great impact on crops sometimes, destroying the entire crop.
