Good Question.❤️
1. Ploughing
It is also known as tiling. It is the process of loosening and turning the soil either manually or by the tractors. Organic manures and phosphates are mixed with the soil at this stage. This increases the fertility of the soil before the seeds are sown.
2. Harrowing
This method is done to smoothen the soil. The weeds are removed and fertilizers are mixed with soil. This also brings the moisture of the soil up.
3. Levelling
Uneven land affects the quality of the crops. It also helps in providing optimum moisture to the soil. The land is levelled to increase the water uptake from the soil. It reduces weed problems and irrigation time. The crop matures uniformly.
4. Manuring
The process of adding organic minerals and nutrients to the soil is called manuring. Manure can be of three types:
Animal manure
Plant manure
Compost
Sowing
Good quality and healthy seeds are collected for sowing. They should be planted at the correct depth in the soil. They must be treated with chemicals to assist in germination. Weed control is done to prevent the weed from entering into the fertilizer. The soil should have enough water so that seed germination occurs properly. The seeds should not be planted close to each other as it reduces the amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients received by them.
Thank You.
