HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Egyptians were among the first peoples to practice agriculture on a large scale, starting in the pre-dynastic period from the end of the Paleolithic into the Neolithic, between around 10, 000 BC and 4000 BC. This was made possible with the development of basin irrigation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Start of Agriculture Before agriculture became widespread, people spent most of their lives searching for food-hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. About 11, 500 years ago, people gradually learned how to grow cereal and root crops, and settled down to a life based on farming.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the geographer Carl Sauer, there were two initial types of cultivation. The first was vegetative planting, which is the reproduction of plants by direct cloning from existing plants. Seed ag-riculture came later; this is the reproduction of plants of seeds. This is practiced by most farmers today.
