He did not. Cronus did that to his father.
Cronus' domain was agriculture. A sickle is associated with harvesting grain. In addition, a sickle was what Cronus used to castrate his father, Uranus.
It was the form of the weapon which Gaia, the Earth his mother gave to Cronus to castrate his father Uranus the Heavens. A sickle was also once used to harvest crops.
Cronus' symbol was a sickle used to harvest crops.
As far as I have read no one was born of the blood of Cronus. However, there is a story stating that Cronus did castrate his father Uranus. When his "member" dropped blood on the earth the Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae were produced. Cronus then cast the "member" into the sea and Aphrodite later emerged. Other stories say that Aphrodite was born of Zeus and Dione(Goddess of the Oak) But I think that one is crap. Because once you start reading those they change from Aphrodite to Venus. Some one was a little confused that day I think. I hope I answered ur question helpfully. : }

Cronus, Titan god of time and King of the Titans, he used a sickle to castrate his father Ouranos.
Kronos (Cronus) is one of the few names from Greek mythology that does NOT have a Greek etymology, which means it's older than Greek. Many philologists think that the name comes from Indo-European sources meaning "to cut", a reference to the sickle he used to castrate his father, Ouranos.
The Romans compared Cronus with their Saturn, who was a corn god. In Athens on the 12th day of the month Hekatombaion a festival was held in honour of Cronus. It was a celebration of the harvest. In art, Cronus was depicted carrying a sickle used to gather the harvest, but this was also the weapon he used to castrate his father

Saturn is the Roman equivalent to the Greek Cronus, or the Titan father of the Olympian Gods (of Greek mythology). He was the Titan to castrate his father, Ouranous and gain control of the universe.
Gaia (Earth) did many things in Greek mythology, with Ouranos (Heaven) she was mother of Titanes, Kyklopes, and Hekatonkheires and many others. She urged Cronus to castrate Ouranos, giving him a sickle, she also foretold that Cronus too would be overthrown by his children, which came true at the birth of Zeus.
You don't have to castrate them because they are genetically infertile, or cannot produce offspring.
You cut off it's testicles, the same way you castrate any mammal.
Gaea asked the titans for a volunteer to ambush Uranus and castrate him, Cronus volunteered because he probably wanted to show the other titans his power and make himself ruler of the universe
