Description

A Chisel Plough is an agricultural implement designed for deep ploughing to loosen compacted soil and break hardpan layers. Unlike a mouldboard plough, it does not invert the soil but fractures it vertically, which improves soil aeration, water infiltration, and root development.

The chisel plough is usually tractor-mounted and consists of several strong shanks fitted with chisel-shaped points. It helps in conserving soil moisture, reducing erosion, and maintaining soil structure. Chisel ploughs are commonly used before primary tillage to improve soil health and increase crop productivity.
