chisel plough is primary tillage deep plough, working up to 20” to ensure development of crop root system at proper depth and environment. It is ideal implement where top soil is fertile but subsoil is not productive. The chisel plough increases natural fertility of soil as deep tillage provides enough circulation of air, moisture and sunlight into soil.
For full penetration in the first pass, a 50-85 Hp tractor would be required. A medium (50Hp) tractor will plough 12” in the first pass and full 20” depth will be attained in the second pass.
With only one central tine fitted, it can work as a subsoiler and up to maximum depth for breaking of hard pan even with 50 hp tractors. Yield per acre can be increased considerably by deep plouging for wheat, cotton, and sugar cane crops. Best fruit orchards growth is ensured by deep tillage before tree plantation. In rain-fed areas, the chisel plough is an ideal implement because without disturbing top soil, it shatters the subsoil portion of land, maintaining moisture contents for longer periods and safe guarding against water and wind erosion of top soils.
