Question

The ................. plough will not invert or turn the soil.

• A. Chisel plough
• B. Ridging plough
• C. Mole plough
• D. Scottish hand plough

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chisel plough

• A chisel plough is a common tool which is used to get deep tillage (prepared land) with limited soil disruption.
• The main function of this plough is to loosen and aerate the soils while leaving crop residue at the top of the soil.
• This plough can be used to reduce the effects of compaction and to help break up the hardpan.
• Unlike many other ploughs, the chisel will not invert or turn the soil. This characteristic has made it a useful addition to no-till and low-till farming practices that attempt to maximise the erosion-prevention.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
