Harrowing This is one of the main tillage operations carried out before spring sowing. Thanks to it, the condition of the soil significantly improves and its structure is well-organized, namely it is oxygenated, stores more water in its surface layers, levels the field and crumbles the hard crust that limits the germination of plants. However, these are not all the benefits of harrowing, so it is worth exploring this topic a bit more. In our article you will learn, among other things, what agricultural machines are designed to perform this type of operation and what they can achieve in the agricultural field.

Disc harrows as a basic harrowing machine

Disc harrows are tillage tools used to carry out harrowing. Their structure is based on one or several axes of concave discs, which are designed to cut and turn the soil at a shallow depth. In addition, it has an embedded roller for kneading and compacting the soil.

How does a disc harrow work?

Disc harrow is a special type of agricultural tool that works closely with other vehicles for work on agricultural fields - such as tractors or tractors.

What tasks can a plate maker perform?

When it comes to work disc harrow In fact, it can perform many different activities that make up the entire procedure harrowing. Her works include:

  • loosening the soil (loosening and oxygenating its structures),
  • crushing and breaking lumps of earth,
  • kneading and leveling the role,
  • softening the hard top layer of soil,
  • mixing the soil with scattered fertilizer,
  • covering the seed material with a layer of soil,
  • removing stubborn weeds,
  • even grinding of crop residues and mixing them with the soil,
  • stimulation of the growth of self-sowing plants.
