Another type of physical weed control is mechanical weeding, such as hoeing and harrowing. These techniques have been especially successful when used in organic farming for many decades, and are currently experiencing a renaissance in conventional farming systems also. As an alternative to chemical procedures, mechanical weed control is of prime interest in all crop types. 2, record 1, English, - mechanical%20weeding

Hills, in gardeners’ terminology, are more or less widely separated stations, usually arranged in rows, at each of which is sown a few(generally five or six) seeds.(For) some crops, such as cucumbers and melons, they may be mounded higher than the general surface of the ground... Sowing in hills has the advantages of facilitating weed control by hoeing, cultivating(and) of not being unduly wasteful of seeds of plants that need considerable space. 1, record 3, English, - sowing%20in%20hills
