Solution(By Examveda Team)

Deep ploughing of soil in groundnut is avoided as it makes harvesting difficult.
Timely field preparation facilitates timely sowing which ensures higher yield.
Initial ploughing should be carried out at optimum moisture range to get better tilth. After an initial ploughing wait for 4 - 5 days to reduce the moisture content of the cold and subsequent ploughing and harrowing better physical condition of soil could be obtained with fewer operations.
