Development of Plough 

A plough is a farm implement used to turn or soften the soil before planting or spreading seeds. Traditional farms used oxen and horses to pull ploughs, but modern farms use tractors. A blade attached to a frame made of wood, iron, or steel ploughs cuts, and loosens the earth. It has been essential to farming for the majority of the time.



Plough types


Rotary Plow

Curved cutting knives are mounted on a horizontal power-driven shaft on rotary ploughs. A plough primarily used for weed or seedbed control performs best when quickly moved. Sweeping widths for garden-size mowers range from 0.3 to 0.8 meters (1 to 2.5 feet); for tractor kinds, they go up to more than 3 meters (10 feet).


Disc Plough

In order to obtain maximum depth, disc ploughs often have three or more independently mounted concave discs that are inclined backwards. They are especially well suited for usage in rocky, bushes, or dry, hard soils. The majority of disc tillers, also known as harrow ploughs or one-way disc ploughs, are made up of a group of several discs set on a single axle. ploughs contain discs or moldboards that can be set to either throw the soil completely to the right or left or opposed such that one fills the trench formed by the other.



Chisel plough

A common instrument for preparing land for deep tillage that causes little soil disruption is the chisel plough. This plough's primary job is to aerate and loosen soils while leaving crop residue on top of the soil. This plough can be used to break up the ploughpan and hardpan and lessen the effects of compaction.

Agricultural Machinery to Improve Agricultural Efficiency

Image
In the Era of mechanization, there are several farm equipment used in agriculture activity that helps to reduce time and human effort. As we know India is one of the second-highest agricultural food producers in the world in the field of agriculture. Our nation ranks amongst the top five that contribute at least 80 percent of the agricultural products of the whole world and is the 7th largest exporter of agricultural goods. Still, surprisingly an average Indian farmer’s income is approx. 6k a month or less. As per many surveys, It has been found that the reason behind the low income of Indian farmers is the old farming techniques and less use of the agricultural machinery. Our country has a large number of agricultural machinery manufacturers, still, a significant number of farmers don’t use any agricultural implements in agricultural activity. Some farmers even do not use tractors in India. In our country, more than fifty percent of the total cultivation of land in our country is sti
