Ploughing - Ploughing includes loosening and digging of soil. During ploughing, the soil becomes loose and the nutrients in deep soil come to the top. Also, aeration of soil will increase thus air is available for breathing and roots are easily penetrated between soil. Other purposes of ploughing are the integration of manure, uprooting of weeds, removal of infectious pathogens, insects etc. Ploughs of wood or iron are used for this purpose. Bullocks or tractors are used to pull this plough. Hoe is another tool used to uproot weeds and to loose soil. Levelling - Levelling helps in even distribution and soil is levelled after ploughing. A plank of wood or iron is used for this. Levelling also helps in water distribution without logging during irrigation. Manuring - After ploughing and levelling, manure is applied to further stages of farming. Manuring is done to replenish the soil with nutrients and thus helps in proper growth of the crop. Soil preparation gives agriculture field which is fertile containing ideal soil and makes it ready for farming. Manuring and removal of weeds at a regular interval and frequency help farmers to yield a better product.
