Field is ploughed repeatedly in order to conserve moisture in the soil. This process is necessary, especially during the raining season, so that rain water is properly utilized.

Pulverisation of soil is done before sowing. This process converts soil into small particles, which permits easy flow of water in the soil and plants roots find ample opportunity to grow in strength and support the plants.
