Explanation
Tilling. Ploughing, also known as tilling, is the process of loosening and turning the soil before sowing seeds. This practice helps improve soil aeration, root growth, and water absorption, making the soil more suitable for crop cultivation. It also helps in mixing nutrients and removing weeds, thereby preparing the land for better agricultural productivity. Threshing is the process of separating grains from the harvested crop stalks and husks after harvesting.
