Question

Which one of the following is not true about ploughing?

2.It aerates the soil
3.It prevents soil erosion
4.It allows easy penetration of roots into the soil.

Answer 1

my answer is 2. It aerates the soil

Answer 2

Soil erosion is not what meets the eye.

It is way more than normal. Soil erosion can cause major inconvenience to the farmers as it can reduce crop yields, shoot up production costs, damage the quality of water and even create safety hazards for the people that are working in the field.

There are many methods in which soil erosion can be stopped but plowing is definitely not one of them.
