Agriculture & Farming (Q&A)

Answer:

Farmers plough their land because:

• Ploughing loosens and aerates the soil which in turn facilitates deeper penetration of roots.

• It helps in the growth of microorganisms present in the soil and thus, maintains the fertility of the soil.

• It helps in the mixing of organic matter (humus) and nutrients evenly throughout the soil.

• It is used for destroying weeds.
