Why is it important to level the field after ploughing?

It is important to level the field after ploughing because:

• It helps in breaking/crushing the lumps formed after ploughing.

• It helps to reduce water logging.

• Ploughing creates air spaces and loosens the soil. Levelling it prevents the top layer of soil from being eroded by wind.

• Levelled soil has good water retaining capacity and provides uniform moisture supply to the plants.

• It also helps to prevent excessive evaporation of water.

• The seeds sown are well set into the soil.
