Ploughs have been used for centuries to prepare land for planting. They are designed to cut, lift, and turn over soil, which helps to aerate the soil and bury crop residues, enhancing soil fertility.
Types of Ploughs:
- Mouldboard Plough: The most common type, ideal for turning over heavy soils.
- Disc Plough: Better for rough and stony ground, minimizing clogging.
- Chisel Plough: Less soil inversion, helping to reduce erosion.
Ploughing remains a fundamental practice in agriculture, ensuring crops have the best possible start.
