Farming success largely depends on how well the soil and crops are managed from the start. Preparing the soil properly allows roots to grow deeper and absorb nutrients more efficiently. Farmers should plough fields at least twice before sowing to reduce weeds and improve soil aeration. Adding organic matter such as compost or animal manure enriches fertility and maintains soil structure.

Choosing the right seeds is another crucial step. Certified seeds ensure better germination rates and resistance to diseases. Before sowing, seeds should be tested and stored correctly in dry conditions. Proper spacing during planting helps crops access enough sunlight, air, and nutrients, which results in stronger plants and higher yields.

Irrigation must be balanced overwatering can damage roots, while underwatering weakens crops. Farmers should follow a schedule that matches local weather and crop needs, with drip irrigation as a water-saving option. Regular field checks allow farmers to spot early signs of pests, weeds, or soil problems. By following these practices, farmers increase productivity, cut losses, and achieve more profitable harvests.
