Moldboard plowing is a traditional agricultural practice used to prepare soil for planting. It involves a plow with a curved blade, called a moldboard, which turns over the top layer of soil. This process helps to bury weeds, crop residues, and other organic matter, improving soil structure and fertility. The moldboard plow is typically pulled by a tractor or draft animals, making it easier to cover large areas of land. This method is effective for creating a seedbed, as it aerates the soil and promotes better water infiltration, ultimately supporting healthier crop growth.
