Question

What was the use of the plough?

Answer 1

Hint: They're especially well-suited to hard, dry soils, shrubby or bushy land, and rocky terrain. Disk tillers, also known as harrow ploughs or one-way disc ploughs, are made up of a group of discs mounted on a single axle (see harrow). They are used after grain harvesting and frequently have planting equipment. They normally leave some stubble to help decrease wind erosion.

Complete answer:
Plough is an agricultural implement that has been used to turn and break up the soil, bury crop waste, and control weeds since the dawn of time.

The prehistoric digging staff is the plough’s forerunner. The first ploughs were almost certainly digging poles with handles for pulling or pushing. By the time of the Romans, oxen were pulling light, wheelless ploughs with iron shares (blades) that could break up the topsoil of the Mediterranean but not the heavier soils of northern Europe.

The wheeled plough, which was first drawn by oxen but later by horses, allowed European agriculture to spread northward. The inclusion of the moldboard in the 18th century, which rotated the furrow slice created by the ploughshare, was a significant advancement. The strength of the previous plough was challenged by the black prairie soils of the American Midwest in the mid-nineteenth century, so American mechanic John Deere designed the all-steel one-piece share and moldboard. The three-wheel sulky plough was next, followed by the tractor-drawn plough with the introduction of the gasoline engine.

Note:The moldboard plough is made up of three parts: the share, which is a broad blade that cuts through the soil; the moldboard, which is used to spin the furrow slice; and the landside, which is a plate on the opposite side of the moldboard that absorbs the turning action's side thrust.
