Farming in the modern age goes far beyond plowing, throwing seeds and irrigating fields. As an integral part of agriculture, it is a complex process of growing cultivated plants. A set of different knowledge is necessary in order to achieve the highest possible yield.

Farming includes vegetable growing, as well as the production of fodder plants, industrial plants and grain.

Soil cultivation is carried out according to soil type, composition, cultivated culture and individual varieties. The goals of processing are the improvement of the physical, biological and chemical condition, the creation of water-air conditions favorable for the given culture, the introduction of fertilizers, the destruction of plant cover, weeds and pests, the creation of anthropogenic soil.

Basic soil preparation represents the preparation of the soil to a certain depth so that it is favorable for the process of germination and sprouting of the cultivated plant, and after that for the development of the root system. Good preparation and maintenance of arable fields directly affect the yield of sensitive wheat, corn and soybean crops.

Basic processing techniques are ploughing, furrowing, rolling and special methods of processing mainly for the purpose of land reclamation.

Additional processing could also be called fine-tuning for the specific production needs of a certain culture. It includes shredding, scattering and leveling of the surface layer. In this way, thermal and water-air properties are improved, evaporation is reduced, and the biological maturation of the soil is enhanced through additional fertilization, and the destruction of pests and weeds.

Additional processing can be performed immediately after the basic processing or immediately before sowing.
