What is the difference between a plough and a rotavator in farming?
द्वारा पूछा गया : Suraj Gurelia
A plough is primarily used for deep tillage, breaking hard soil and turning it over to prepare uncultivated land, while a rotavator performs shallow tillage, mainly used to loosen and mix the topsoil for seedbed preparation. Both are essential tools in farming, but they serve different purposes depending on the stage of soil preparation.
| Feature | Plough | Rotavator |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Primary tillage – breaks and turns hard soil | Secondary tillage – pulverizes and mixes topsoil |
| Working Depth | Deeper | Shallower |
| Soil Inversion | Yes – it completely turns the soil | No – chops and stirs the surface soil |
| Best Used For | Breaking up unused land, removing weeds & roots | Preparing fine seedbed, weed control, mixing crop residue |
| Implements Type | MB plough, disc plough | Rotary tiller (rotavator) |
| Speed | Slower operation | Faster operation |
| Fuel Usage | Higher fuel consumption | More fuel-efficient |
| Tractor Power | Requires higher HP (depending on soil) | Moderate HP (35 HP and above) |
