Land preparation

  • Before the onset of the rains, prepare the land well by ploughing and harrowing to a fine tilth. Remove all weeds.
  • Start by slashing the vegetation & digging it into soil to protect fertility.

  • The drainage channels or soil conservation bunds are established along the contours.
