The process missing in the given list is ploughing.
The first step in paddy cultivation is the preparation of the soil for cultivation. It involves ploughing and leveling of the field. Next, seeds are sown and watered. Proper care needs to be taken by manuring and weeding at regular intervals. Once the crop is ready for yield, it is harvested and stored with care.
The process of loosening and turning the soil is called ploughing or tilling. The agricultural implements used for tilling the soil are plough and hoe. The plough can be attached to bullocks or a tractor for this purpose. When the soil is loosened, it become aerated, weeds are pulled out and it becomes ready to receive the seeds that will be sown.
