In summer season , due to breaking of hard crusted upper layer of the soil and deep ploughing the infiltration capacity and permeability of the soil increases. Consequently plant roots will get more moisture with less effort . It also improves soil structure due to alternate drying and cooling of soil aeration which helps in multiplication of micro organisms. This is basically why the farmers plough their field during summer
