A disc plough is a type of agricultural implement used for tilling soil. It consists of one or more circular metal discs that cut into the ground, turning over the soil to prepare it for planting. The design allows for effective ploughing in various soil types, including hard or rocky ground. Disc ploughs are often preferred for their ability to handle tough conditions compared to traditional moldboard ploughs. They can create furrows more efficiently and are commonly used in large-scale farming operations. Farmers use them to improve soil aeration and manage crop residues effectively.
