Description
A plough, also known as a plow, is a farming implement used for turning over and loosening the soil in preparation for planting crops. It typically consists of a sturdy frame with one or more curved blades called ploughshares that penetrate the soil and create furrows. The plough is attached to a tractor or draft animals, which provide the power to pull the implement through the field. As the plough moves forward, the ploughshares cut through the soil, turning it over and breaking up clumps. This process helps to aerate the soil, improve drainage, and create a suitable seedbed for planting. Ploughs come in various designs and sizes, including moldboard ploughs, disc ploughs, and chisel ploughs, each suited for different soil conditions and farming practices. The use of a plough is an essential step in traditional tillage-based agriculture, helping farmers prepare the land for successful crop cultivation.
