Ploughing of soil will reduce the loss of water in an agricultural field because after ploughing the soil can absorb and retain more water and reduce soil erosion.
Explanation:
- Ploughing is a basic method used by farmers before starting the actual cultivation.
- In the process a vehicle is made to apply on the surface of the soil such as the soil loosens up and sowing becomes an easier job.
- Ploughing can reduce the loss of water because once the soil is loose, its porosity increases and thus it can absorb more amount of water.
- Absorption of water by the soil is crucial as it will take further steps in cultivation easier.
- In earlier days, ploughing was done by animals like horses and ox. However, in modern times tractors are used for the purpose.
