 1. Land Clearing Land clearing is essential to remove debris, weeds, and obstacles that can hinder planting and crop growth. This process helps: - Reduce weed competition for water and nutrients - Prevent soil-borne diseases and pests - Improve soil aeration and water infiltration - Create a smooth surface for planting and farming operations 2. Mulching on Yam Sett Mulching is a valuable technique for yam cultivation. Applying organic materials like straw or wood chips helps: - Retain soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering - Suppress weeds, minimizing competition for nutrients - Regulate soil temperature, promoting healthy root growth - Improve soil structure and fertility as mulch breaks down 3. Storage of Grains, Hay, and Silage Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of harvested grains, hay, and silage. This helps: - Prevent spoilage and loss due to pests, mold, or moisture - Maintain nutritional value and quality - Ensure food security by preserv...
