how does ploughing helps in root respirtion

Ploughing or tilling may be defined as the turning of upper layer of the soil and bringing fresh nutrients into the surface. There are lots of agronomical benefits of ploughing. Air spaces are created in the soil after ploughing . Oxygen that is present in these air spaces between  the soil particles, is now easily available to the plant and is diffused into the root hairs from where it is diffused into other cells of plants. After utilisation carbon dioxide is diffused out. 
Proper root respiration improves plant health.

for proper root respiration,farmers plough the soil so that tiny air spaces are created around the soil particles.Plant roots typically take in oxygen that is available in small spaces between soil particles and give off Carbon dioxide. If roots did not respire,they cannot produce the energy necessary to actively take up minerals from the soil. For proper root respiration.
