PREPARATION OF DEHKAN FARMS AND HOUSEHOLD PLOTS FOR PLANTING: AGROTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS AND MODERN APPROACHES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. This article analyzes the importance of preparing dehkan farms and household plots for planting, the main agrotechnical requirements, and modern approaches aimed at increasing crop productivity and soil fertility. The study examines land preparation processes including soil tillage, fertilization, moisture conservation, weed control, seedbed preparation, and the application of modern agricultural technologies. Special attention is given to resource-saving methods, mechanized land cultivation, precision agriculture technologies, and environmentally sustainable farming practices. The results indicate that proper land preparation significantly improves seed germination, enhances plant growth, increases crop yield, and ensures efficient utilization of agricultural resources. Furthermore, the integration of modern mechanization and digital technologies contributes to sustainable agricultural development and food security.
