Why do farmers turn the soil at regular intervals?
Answers
Answer:
Many farmers spread manure from cattle and swine onto their fields. This manure is rich in nitrogen which is essential for plant growth. Turning the soil over not only mixes this organic matter, but it also increases oxygen in the soil which speeds up decomposition of the organic matter and makes more oxygen available for the plant roots. One problem that farmers face is weeds in their field. Weeds compete with the planted crop for water and essential nutrients.
