What Is It
LAND PREPARATION
The objective of land preparation is to break and pulverize the soil and put it
into conditions favorable for the reception of the planting materials. It involves
the following operations:
1. CLEARING THE LAND. Clearing the land means the removal of any
material which obstructs or makes subsequent cultural operations difficult. It
involves the removal of weeds, stubbles and heavy trashes using appropriate
tools.
2. PLOWING. This is a horticultural tillage operation that is used to
break the soil usually 15 centimeters deep purposely to incorporate organic
matter.
Objectives of plowing:
a. Give proper soil aeration.
b. Allow the easy penetration of water.
c. Make the soil favorable for the growth of seeds and plants.
d. Incorporate organic matter into the soil.
