What is smoking in agriculture?

Smoking in agriculture refers to the practice of using smoke from burning materials, such as wood or crop residues, to manage pests and diseases, enhance soil fertility, and improve crop yields. It can also involve the use of traditional techniques, like smoking fish or meat for preservation. Additionally, some farmers use smoking as a method of land clearing or preparing fields for planting. However, this practice can have environmental impacts, including air pollution and deforestation.
