Land Preparation:
Number of ploughings: 2-3 ploughings are generally recommended to achieve a fine tilth.
Depth of ploughing: The first ploughing should be deep (18-20 cm) to break the hardpan and improve drainage. Subsequent ploughings can be shallower (10-12 cm).
Timing: Ploughing is best done during the summer months (April-May) to allow the soil to dry and aerate.
Moisture content: Ideally, the soil should have moderate moisture content during ploughing. Avoid ploughing when the soil is too wet or dry.
After ploughing, remove all weeds, stones, and other debris from the field. This will prevent competition for resources and facilitate smooth land leveling.
Incorporate well-decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) or compost at 15-20 tons per acre at the time of final ploughing. This improves soil fertility, water holding capacity, and soil structure.
