A moldboard plough is a farming tool used to turn over soil, preparing it for planting. It features a curved blade, known as the moldboard, which lifts and flips the soil, burying weeds and crop residues. This process helps aerate the soil and improves its structure, making it more suitable for growing crops. Moldboard ploughs can be pulled by animals or tractors, making them versatile for different farming practices. They are essential in traditional agriculture and have evolved over time, with modern versions often incorporating advanced materials and designs to enhance efficiency and durability.
