A plough or plow is a farm tool for loosening or turning the soil before sowing seed or planting. Ploughs were traditionally drawn by oxen and horses, but in modern farms are drawn by tractors. A plough may have a wooden, iron or steel frame, with a blade attached to cut and loosen the soil.

The process of loosening and turning up of the soil is called plugging. This is done by using a wooden over iron plough. A plough has a strong triangular iron strip called ploughshare. The main part of the plough is a long log wood and is called ploughshaft.
Ploughs are either drone by bullocks or driven by tractors. Tractor driven ploughing saves time and labour.
Loosening of soil by ploughing has the following advantages.
» It permits easy and deeper penetration of the roots.
» It provides good aeration to the roots.
» It helps to bring nutrient rich soil to the top for plant use.
» It prevent growth of harmful pests.
» It helps uproot the weeds.
» It retains moisture for a longer period
