Every\ntime, one imagines rural India, what comes to their mind is a green, lush space\nthat\u2019s very scenic. Behind the verdant greens are months and years of efforts\nto ensure that the yield is healthy. From wheat fields in Punjab to Paddy\nfields down south, there are some things that are universal when it comes to\ncultivation. The first step and in fact the most crucial one is the preparation\nof the land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In layman\u2019s terms, it is the process of setting up the soil for crops to grow. The reason why well-prepared land holds great significance in agriculture is that it regulates weed growth and provides a fertile soil mass for transplanting. It is done to enhance the successful establishment of the young offshoots or the tissue cultured plants that are obtained from nurseries. This process also helps in recycling the nutrients of the plants and provides an ideal soil texture for direct seeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The basic process that goes into land preparation is Tilling <\/strong>and harrowing. Tilling<\/strong> refers to the technique of preparing soil that requires mechanical agitation or movement of some sort that may include manual equipment, machinery or automated tools. Farmers are expected to spend a few weeks before they actually get to cultivate their land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
