Sowing:

  1. The process of planting seeds is known as sowing.
  2. Sowing is an important part of farming. After the soil has been softened and plowed, healthy, disease-free, high-quality seeds are selected and planted.
  3. High-quality seeds are selected and sown on prepared land.
  4. Seeds with excellent yields are frequently chosen and planted.

Before sowing, plowing and leveling are done.

Plowing and leveling is the most basic and important agricultural procedure.

Plowing:

  1. Plowing the field turns over the upper layer of soil, bringing the inner layer of soil to the surface, which contains more nutrients.

Leveling:

  1. The agricultural area is expanded by leveling. It also aids in the burial of weeds and the leftovers of earlier crops, letting them decompose.
  2. It will assist to loosen the soil so that the plant's roots may readily enter the soil and give improved aeration for plant growth.
  3. Furthermore, leveling aids in weed management as well as insect and disease control in plants.
  4. It will aid in increasing plant density.
  5. Crop management and water management are improved, increasing agricultural productivity.
