A chisel plow is a type of agricultural implement used for tilling soil. It features long, narrow blades called chisels that penetrate the ground, breaking up compacted soil without turning it over completely. This method helps improve soil aeration and water infiltration, making it beneficial for crop growth.
Chisel plows are often used in conservation tillage practices, which aim to reduce soil erosion and maintain soil structure. They can be pulled by tractors and are effective in preparing fields for planting while preserving organic matter in the soil, contributing to sustainable farming practices.
