Soil tillage is a process to completely modify the surface profile of the soil and bury all the surface residues. Tilling the soil also leaves it vulnerable to wind erosion until it is covered by the fresh crop. However to avoid the risk or minimize it, ploughing should be done when the soil is wet and the crop seeds should be sown as soon as possible into the moist soil. The key purpose of tilling the soil is to turn up the upper layer of the soil, to bring fresh nutrients to the surface Farmers who practice ploughing using mould-board plough or one-way disc plough can achieve high efficient grain yield returns. The ploughing and re-consolidating the soil is both environmentally friendly and efficient. Soils are loosened, organic matters are integrated into the soil to enrich it and weeds are also controlled automatically. The ploughed soil establishes good contact with the subsoil and enables it to hold moisture. Different types of models of plough are used for different purposes in ploughing as soil is not same in very area. Below is the most used types of plough in farming. Mould-board plough – A Moldboard plough provides soil pulverization and buries the weeds and residue almost entirely, to offer suitable atmosphere to plants to grow. Disc Harrow – A disc harrow is generally used as secondary tillage equipment and allows incorporation of fertilizers and pesticides evenly and smoothly. Disc Plough – A disc plough is compatible to works in all types of soil for the purposes of soil breaking, raising, turning and mixing. This type of plough is mostly used in in hard and dry trashy land conditions and where scouring is a major issue. Cultivator – Cultivators are used as used as implement to the tractor for smoothen the hard surface and deep ploughing that allow soil to evenly incorporate fertilizers and pesticides. Rotary Tiller or Rotary plough – Also known as Rotavator, a Rotary tiller is ideal to be used in different soil conditions and applications. It rotating blades or rotors loosen & aerate soil up to ensure a perfectly leveled and finished seedbed.
