What does Plough mean?
In the machinery of agricultural industries, Plough is the most basic and important agricultural tool used to invert the soil from plough the toughest and hardest soil for the preparation of seed sowing. Originally, a plow is designed to work in all types of soil such as breaking, lifting, and overturning the soil. There are various types of ploughs available in the market for all these clay works. The plough uses steel bottoms with dots to make it perfect for the most difficult tillage tasks. The plough is a large agricultural device in which one or more blades are fixed in a frame, drawn over the soil and cut into grooves in preparation for sowing seeds.
Advantages of ploughing for soil:
- Ploughing of the soil helps in loosening and breaking the soil. Nutrient-rich soil is evenly distributed from the plough and which also improves the yield potential of the soil.
- Ploughing helps to improve the water holding capacity of the soil in the form of capillary water. Due to which the quality of soil is increased.
- Ploughing necessary to root out weeds and unwanted herbs. Which does not require much pesticide in the soil.
- Plowing accelerates the decomposition of organic materials by aerobic bacteria due to improved air circulation in the soil, which improves soil microbiome.
- Due to deep ploughing, the roots of the seed can easily enter the soil and help provide a strong foundation for the plant.
After ploughing, one thing should always be taken care of, which is called leveling of the soil. After deep ploughing of the field, large clumps of soil are called crumbs. Farmers should always keep in mind that it is necessary to remove these soil pieces or flakes before sowing seeds for higher yield, this is done with a leveler. It helps in leveling the land.
