Maintainance

     We remove the weed/other plant that will absorb the nutrient needed for plant to growth. A weed may also be defined as any plant growing where it is not wanted. Weeding also helps to loosen the soil. Water can infiltrate more rapidly and roots of the cultivated plants can develop in a better way. While weed control is important, keeping a few spots of weeds as a refuge will help to conserve the eco-system. The growth of weeds can be prevented or delayed by using mulch.

eg. of other plant

        After a heavily rain about half of the day , our plot have flooded with water. We have to dig a hole to drain the excess water from our plot. This is to improving the drainage system.The function of the field drainage system is to control the water table, whereas the function of the main drainage system is to collect, transport, and dispose of the water through an outfall or outlet. Drainage reduces soil and nutrient loss from runoff and can help avoid soil erosion.  Drainage systems also prevent the accumulation of stagnant water, which can encourage mosquitoes to breed.

Digging hole

We have to dig deeper drain to avoid this thing happen again. If soil is too wet it can result in poor conditions for the crops to grow; when soil is well drained then the oxygen, nutrients and trace elements that the plant needs are available.
