第 87 頁 - These will reduce the cost of weeding and, at the same time, increase the fertility of the soil. When the young plants begin to develop, growth may be further improved by surface cultivation with ploughs or disc harrows. On peaty land, where the soil is apt to subside after it is opened up, mounding or banking the young plants is often necessary, and this operation may have to be continued until the land has settled down to its normal level. On low-lying land, drainage operations will have to be...
