Land Preparation
The main objectives of land tilling are to prepare a good tilth in the soil for seed germination, scrap the weeds and stubble of previous crop and conserve moisture for the crop. One deep ploughing followed by 2-3 harrowings and planking are necessary for this crop. In rainfed areas, summer ploughing is useful for soaking the rain water in to deeper layers.
