Disc Plough

Uses

1. Primary Tillage and Soil Turning
   • Cuts and lifts deeply compacted soil layers to break up hardpan and loosen ground.

   • Prepares rough fields for initial cultivation or planting.

2. Residue Burial and Weed Control
   • Flips and buries crop stubble and weeds to halt regrowth and support decomposition.

   • Helps manage pest and disease cycles by covering pathogen-rich residue.

3. Soil Aeration and Structure Improvement
   • Opens up soil to improve drainage, root penetration, and microbial activity.

   • Enhances soil structure for better moisture retention and plant growth.

4. Leveling and Contour Shaping
   • Begins the process of smoothing field surfaces before refinement by harrows.

   • Helps form field contours to prevent erosion and manage runoff.

5. Incorporating Soil Amendments
   • Mixes lime, compost, or fertilizers into deeper soil layers for effective nutrient distribution.

6. Land Reclamation Tasks
   • Ideal for reclaiming sod, pasture, or wild land by cutting heavy vegetation into soil.

7. Improving Compacted or Layered Soils
   • Breaks through dense native layers, promoting deeper tillage for root development.

8. Seasonal Preparation
   • Used in autumn to invert residue before winter and in spring to kickstart soil warming and drying.
