Harrow – The Clod Breaker
After ploughing or initial tillage, the soil surface often remains uneven and filled with clods. A harrow is used to break these lumps and smoothen the land.
It helps in leveling the soil and preparing a fine seedbed that supports uniform seed germination.
Types of Harrows:
Disc Harrow: Used for heavy and rough soil.
Spike Tooth Harrow: Ideal for lighter soils and surface-level work.
Key Benefits:
Breaks large clods of soil effectively.
Mixes crop residues and manure evenly.
Creates a fine and uniform seedbed.
