(b) Sowing
(c) Weeding
(d) Threshing
Answer:
(a) Preparation of soil
There are three major steps that are involved in the preparation of soil. These three steps are namely, ploughing, levelling as well as manuring. Ploughing aids in bringing the nutrients present in the deep soil arrive above the soil. Levelling is responsible for maintaining the uniform level of the soil. Manuring helps in yielding a better product to the farmers.
(b) Sowing
Sowing is known to be the process through which seeds get buried within the soil. The seeds germinate into the soil after the Sowing process has been completed. Further, the seeds develop into a whole plant.
(c) Weeding
The process of weeding means the act of eliminating wild plants from a place where they are not desired. Weeding helps in removing the unwanted plants.
(d) Threshing
Threshing is considered as a process in which the edible part of grain from the straw is loosened. Threshing is done after reaping as a process of grain preparation.
