For hundreds of thousands of years, prehistoric people lived by hunting, fishing, gathering wild plants. Then about 8000 B.C., people took the first steps toward the agriculture. Some tribes discovered that plants could be grown from seeds. They also learned that certain animals could be tamed and then raised in captivity. These two discoveries marked the beginning of the domestication of plants and animals. Scholars believe that domestication began in the Middle East and then spread to surrounding areas. People could thus build permanent settlements. Some of these settlements developed into the first cities. Some of these cities, in turn, produced the world first civilizations. The first great civilizations arose in two regions of the Middle East. One region was the Nile River Valley of Egypt. The other was Mesopotamia. Both regions had fertile soil, but neither received enough rain for crops to grow.

Soil consists chiefly of mineral particles mixed with decaying organic matter. Chemical reactions involving these substances produce most of the nutrients that crops need. To be fertile, therefore, soil must consist of the right mixture of minerals, organic matter, and helpful microbes. It must also have the proper amounts of air and water.
After deciding which crops to grow, farmers analyze their soil to learn if any nutrients are insufficient or lacking. To get an accurate analysis, most farmers send samples of the soil to a soil-testing laboratory. To test results help farmers plan a scientific fertilizer program for their crops. Effective soil management also includes methods of soil conservation.

Agronomists use the world “pests” in referring to weeds, plant diseases, and insects that threaten crops. Most farmers control pests with chemicals called pesticides. Scientists have developed hundreds of pesticides for use on farms. Each one is designed to fight certain of weeds, plant diseases, or harmful insects. All pesticides must be with extreme care. If they are used improperly, they may pollute the environment or the food supply and so endanger people’s health.
Farmers also use other methods of pest control in addition to pesticides. For example, turning the soil with a plough or mechanical cultivator kills most weeds. However, special pesticides called herbicides control weeds more thoroughly than soil turning does. Some herbicides remain active in the soil for some time and so kill weed seedlings as develop.
