Name two tools used for primary tillage.

The tools used for primary tillage include:

1. Jembe (hoe)

2. Plough,

3. Tractor.

NB - Primary tillage is the first step in preparing the soil before planting crops.

What Happens During Primary Tillage?

a. Breaking the Soil

The soil is broken up using special tools like a plough. This helps to make the hard ground soft and loose.

b. Turning the Soil

The top layer of the soil is turned over so that the rich nutrients at the bottom come to the top.

c. Burying Weeds and Crop Remains

Old plant parts and weeds are buried under the soil. This keeps the farm clean and helps the old plants rot and add nutrients to the soil.
