Question
Write a paragraph in your own words of the following.
Preparation of soil
Solution
It is the first method to be followed before growing a crop. This method is usually employed for loosening the soil to allow the root to penetrate deep into it. The loosening of the soil helps in the growth of several soil microbes, earthworms, etc., which enrich the soil with humus and other essential nutrients. Plants require nutrients for their proper growth and functioning. The process of loosening is called tilling or ploughing the soil. Tilling of the soil brings the nutrient-rich soil to the top. This helps the plants utilise the nutrients for their growth.
