Answer:
(1) Soil is prepared before sowing the seeds. The soil is loosened to increase the absorption of water and manures. Loosening of soil particles adds humus and nutrients in the soil that increases crop yields. Tilling or loosening the soil is done by ploughs which are pulled by a pair of bulls. Tractor driven cultivators are also used to loosen the soil.
(2) Plough, Hoe & Cultivator are three important tools which help in soil preparation.
- Plough: Tool used for ploughing . It is made of iron/ wood. It is pulled by a pair of animals like cows/ oxen/ horses and operated by the farmer through the handle.
- Hoe: Hoe is a tool used for loosening soil. It is made of wood or iron. A strong iron plate attached to the long rod acts like a blade and helps to loosen the soil. It is also pulled by animals.
- Cultivator: Cultivator is a tool used for ploughing. Manual as well as tractor driven cultivators are used. Tractor driven cultivators are fast, thus save time and also saves human labor.
