Answer 1

Answer:

Loosening the soil allows the roots to penetrate deep into the soil and allows the roots to breathe easily even when they go deep into the soil. Loosened soil promotes the growth of organisms like earthworms and microbes which make the soil more fertilized.Loose soil helps the growth of earthworms and microbes in the soil. They provide nutrients to the soil and aid in further loosening of the soil. Turning and loosening of soil brings nutrient-rich soil to the top. Plants can then absorb these nutrients more efficiently.What are the advantages of Ploughing the soil?

- Tilling of soil helps in loosening and turning off the soil, the nutrient-rich soil is distributed evenly and also it improves aeration. - Ploughing helps to improve the water retention ability of soil in the form of capillary water. - It is essential for the uprooting of weeds and unwanted herbs.

Answer 2

Two reasons why loosening of soil by ploughing is important are as follows

• Loosening of soil can improve air circulation.

• The roots can penetrate deeper into the soil, thus holding the plant firmly.

• It enhances the water retention capacity of the soil.

• It uproots the weeds growing in the field and aids in the growth of microbes.
