● In the semi arid Plains of a particular region farmers grow wheat in some long and leave back the black strips of land but take care of that Land by using weedicides this is because rain harvesting is done in that black stripped areas.
● Sometimes semi arid areas do not get enough amount of rainwater due to some environmental conditions and hence the pre stored rainwater in the black strips are used to cultivate wheat crops.
● This is the reason behind taking care of black striped areas of land with weedicides and keep it clean.
