  2. Cultivator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivator

    Small tilling equipment, used in small gardens such as household gardens and small commercial gardens, can provide both primary and secondary tillage. For example, a rotary tiller does both the "plowing" and the "harrowing", preparing a smooth, loose seedbed. It does not provide the row-wise weed control that cultivator teeth would.

  3. Tillage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage

    Tillage that is deeper and more thorough is classified as primary, and tillage that is shallower and sometimes more selective of location is secondary. Primary tillage such as ploughing tends to produce a rough surface finish, whereas secondary tillage tends to produce a smoother surface finish, such as that required to make a good seedbed for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Human_Geography

    Advanced Placement (AP) Human Geography (also known as AP Human Geo, AP Geography, APHG, AP HuGe, APHug, AP Human, HuGS, AP HuGo, or HGAP) is an Advanced Placement social studies course in human geography for high school, usually freshmen students in the US, culminating in an exam administered by the College Board.

  5. Roller (agricultural tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_(agricultural_tool)

    Rollers are a secondary tillage tool used for flattening land or breaking up large clumps of soil, especially after ploughing or disc harrowing. Rollers are typically pulled by tractors today. Before mechanised agriculture, a team of working animals such as horses or oxen provided the power.

  6. Agricultural machinery industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_machinery...

    Irrigation pumps, tillage equipment, chaff cutters, tractors and threshers were gradually introduced for farm mechanization. The high yielding varieties with assured irrigation and higher rate of application of fertilizers gave higher returns that enabled farmers to adopt mechanization inputs, especially after Green revolution in 1960s."

  7. Subsoiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsoiler

    The subsoiler is a tillage tool which will improve growth in all crops where soil compaction is a problem. In agriculture angled wings are used to lift and shatter the hardpan that builds up due to compaction. The design provides deep tillage, loosening soil deeper than a tiller or plough is capable of reaching.

  8. Strip-till - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip-till

    Strip tillage has some similarities with no-till systems because the surface is protected with residue. However, strip-till also has a similar effect on soil properties as conventional tillage systems because the farmer still breaks the soil's crust which allows aerobic conditions to speed the decay of organic matter.

  9. Spring-tooth harrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-tooth_harrow

    Note how it is in four foot sections with manual levers to adjust the depth of tillage. Harrows, whether spring tooth, spike tooth or disc harrows can have a drag connection or have a 3 point mounting. A drag harrow is pulled and cannot be backed up. Three point implements can be raised and lowered hydraulicly and maneuvered more easily.
