How Cultivation Works in Agricultural Machinery: A Comprehensive Guide

  Cultivation is a vital process in agriculture, ensuring the soil is well-prepared for planting, supporting healthy crop growth, and managing weeds. Modern agricultural machinery has revolutionized cultivation, making it faster, more efficient, and less labor-intensive. Let’s explore the steps of cultivation and the key machinery involved at each stage. 1. Primary Tillage: Preparing the Soil The cultivation process begins with primary tillage, which involves breaking and loosening the soil to create a suitable seedbed. Primary tillage machinery includes: Plows : Moldboard Plow : Inverts the soil to bury crop residues and weeds. Disc Plow : Ideal for cutting through hard or stubble-covered soil. Subsoilers : Break compacted layers beneath the surface, improving water infiltration and root growth. 2. Secondary Tillage: Refining the Seedbed After primary tillage, secondary tillage is carried out to refine the soil further. This step ensures the soil is smooth and f...
