conventional ploughing
Conventional ploughing is a traditional farming method that involves turning over the top layer of soil using a plough. This process helps to aerate the soil, bury weeds, and incorporate organic matter, which can improve soil fertility. It typically prepares the land for planting crops by creating furrows for seed placement.
Farmers often use tractors to pull the plough, making the process more efficient. While conventional ploughing can enhance crop yields, it may also lead to soil erosion and degradation if not managed properly. Sustainable practices, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, can help mitigate these negative effects.
