Chisel Plough
A Chisel plough is a primary tillage implement designed to break and loosen hard, compacted soil layers without turning them over, helping preserve soil structure and organic matter. It features strong, narrow shanks (chisel-shaped tines) that penetrate deep into the ground, improving aeration, water infiltration, and root growth. Ideal for preparing land for sowing, the chisel plough effectively manages crop residues, controls weeds, and prevents soil erosion, making it a vital tool for sustainable farming practices.
Challenges:
- Hard or rocky soil causes excessive wear on tines.
- Soil clods remain large after ploughing.
- Difficulty in maintaining uniform depth.
Solutions:
- Use high-strength, replaceable chisel points to extend lifespan.
- Follow with secondary tillage tools like a harrow for finer seedbed preparation.
- Use adjustable depth control and proper tractor ballast for consistent operation.
