A disc plough is a type of plough that has a concave disc instead of a moldboard for cutting and turning soil. This plough requires 10-20 horsepower per disc in the tractor. Also, the disc of this plough can be adjusted according to the desired furrow depth and width.

Disc plough is the best choice for clayey, hard and heavy soil with heavy crop residues mainly due to its self-cleaning ability. The rotating disc of this plough cuts the hard ground and brings up the fertile soil. In this way, hard soil that does not absorb water becomes better for moisture retention and more fertile.

Disc plough is mostly used in the initial tillage process before crop rotation. It is best for hard, dry, muddy, rocky or uneven ground. However, its usage should be avoided in light and sandy soils. The disc plough also proves to be better than others for weed control and moisture conservation in the soil.

Disc ploughs are better in many aspects compared to other ploughs. Such a simple design makes it easy to maintain. It is more effective in improving soil structure by thoroughly mixing and chopping crop residues. Moreover, it can work even in hard soil easily with less fuel, which ultimately reduces your farming costs.

The price range of a disc plough can be from INR 25,000 to a maximum of INR 2,50,000. However, the brand of plough, number of discs and plough type, all these aspects affect the price of a disc plough. Therefore, before buying a plough, do online research and compare different brand’s products and prices.
