Why is the preparation of soil an important task in agriculture?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
It brings nutrient-rich soil to the top.
💡 Explanation:
Soil preparation (tilling) brings nutrient-rich subsoil to the surface where crops can access these nutrients. It improves aeration and root penetration. Tilling does not primarily aim to kill microbes or earthworms (both beneficial), nor does it directly remove weeds (that's weeding).
