Why is the soil turned and loosened before seeds are sown?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The soil is turned and loosened before sowing of seeds because this (ploughing) facilitates better plant growth. Loose soil has a lot of air trapped in it, which is used by the roots to breathe easily. Ploughing of soil brings nutrient rich soil to the top. It also increases water holding capacity.
