Why is the land ploughed before the beginning of summer? Does it have any relation to the capillary rise?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
When the land is ploughed the separation between the soil particles increases. The diameter of the capillary tubes formed in the soil increases. Sc the capillary rise decreases. This helps to retain moisture in the soil.
