Answers
Answer: 1. HAND SICKLE
A sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool with a variously curved blade typically used for harvesting grain crops or cutting succulent forage chiefly for feeding livestock (either freshly cut or dried as hay). Many variants of hand sickles are used across many cultures.
2. SHOVEL & SPADE
A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore. Shovels are used extensively in agriculture, construction, and gardening. Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle.
3. PICKAXE
A pickaxe or pick is a hand tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the handle. They are used as tools for landscaping, breaking up hard surfaces and as farming implements. It consists of a handle and a head made of metal that has both a pointed and blunt end. The pointed end breaks up hard surfaces, while the blunt end can be used to pry things up. A pickaxe can often break up soils that a shovel can’t. Dry, hardened clay or rocky soils can be broken up using the sharp end of the axe.
4. HOE
A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural hand tool used to shape the soil, control weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops. Shaping the soil can be done by piling soil around the base of plants (hilling) or creating narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for planting seeds and bulbs. Weed control can be done with the help of a hoe by cutting foliage from the roots and clearing the soil of old roots and crop residues. Hoes can be used for digging and moving the soil used in the harvesting of root crops such as potatoes.
