Summer Ploughing is known as the ploughing of field all around
during hot summer
with specialized tools. Its primary
objective is to open the soil crust along with deep ploughing and also overturning of the soil so as to disinfect it ugh piercing sun rays. Summer ploughing is done (off season tillage) during pre-monsoon
showers (in the month of May) to
replenish the soil quality. It facilitates sowing of crops immediately after starting of southwest monsoon. Off season tillage
or ploughing during summer helps in the increase of water content of soil and reduces surface runoff. It also helps in decreasing
pest and weed growth.
