PLOUGH:
It is the most ancient method for ploughing the seed. It contains a triangular iron strip which is called ploughshare. Then there is a long rod of wood called plough shaft.

The one end of the shaft has a handle and another end is attached to a beam which is placed on a pair of bull.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLOUGH:
It is used for breaking large lumps of soil into small pieces.
It is used for removing weeds, grass, crop residues, debris etc. from the soil.
It is used for adding manure or fertilisers to the soil.
2.HOE:
A hoe is a bladed tool that has a long rod of wood or iron. The one end of wood has a fixed strong blade and a bent plate of iron that works like a blade. Another end is attached to a beam that is placed on a pair of a bull during ploughing the field.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HOE:
Hoe helps in digging and moving the soil upside down
Helps to agitate the surface of the soil so as to remove weeds and other unwanted plants.
3.CULTIVATOR:
It is the modern method of ploughing done these days. It involves the use of the tractor to drive cultivator.
Importance of cultivator: It saves labour and time involved during ploughing
4. LEVELLING:
After ploughing or tilling, the field is levelled with the help of a leveller. It is because the ploughed soil is quite loose, so it is liable to be carried away by strong winds or washed away by rainwater. The ploughed soil is levelled by pressing it with wooden leveller.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LEVELLING:
It prevents the top fertile soil from being carried away by strong winds or washed away by rainwater.
It helps in uniform distribution of water in fields during irrigation.
It prevents the loss of moisture from the ploughed soil.
