Solution

The Plough was used for farming and cultivation of soil preparation for sowing. Whereas a Hoe is a hand tool used by small farmers and vegetational crops. Farmers have been using plough since time immemorial.

Plough

Ploughs were traditionally drawn by oxen and horses, but in modern farms are drawn by tractors. The prime purpose of ploughing is to turn over the uppermost soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface.

Hoe

A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural and horticultural hand tool used to shape soil, remove weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops. Hoes are used to harvesting root crops like Potatoes.
