Answer 2

The Khurpi is used for removing weeds and unwanted plants from the crop.

• The tool is also used for breaking the surface layer, aeration, and mulching of the soil.
• The unwanted plants that grow in-between crops are called weeds.
• The process of removal of such unwanted plants is called weeding.
• Weeding is important in agriculture because weeds are competitive plants as they reduce the useful crop yield by acquiring space, fertilizers, and nutrients from the soil.
• Weeding is necessary because weeds compete with the main crop plant for different factors such as water, sunlight, nutrients, and space and hence affect plant growth.
