The most important implements for soil cultivation and their area of application

1. Plow

The plow is one of the oldest tillage tools and is used to turn and loosen the soil. It is often used to plow under crop residues and control weeds.

2. Cultivator

A cultivator is used to loosen the soil without turning it. It is used in shallow and deep tillage and is ideal for preparing the soil for sowing.

3. Harrow

The harrow is used to level the soil surface and break up clods. There are different types of harrows, such as the spring tine harrow or the disc harrow, which are suitable for different soil types and applications.

4. Disc harrow

This tool loosens the soil and mixes crop residues. It is particularly useful for heavier soils and can be used at different working depths.

5. Rotary harrow

The rotary harrow is a rotating tillage implement that finely crumbles and levels the soil at the same time. It is often used for seedbed preparation.

6. Mulcher

The mulcher shreds plant residues or grassland and distributes the shredded material evenly over the soil, which contributes to humus formation.

7. Rotary harrows

These implements rotate horizontally and are particularly suitable for fine soil cultivation. They ensure even mixing and fine crumbling of the soil.

8. Tiller

Tillers are used to loosen and mix the soil. They work intensively and are suitable for heavier soil work, e.g. before planting gardens or certain crops.

The 3 most important soil types

1. Sandy soil

  • Properties: Sandy soil has a coarse grain size, is very permeable to water and air, but retains little moisture and nutrients.
  • Advantages: It warms up quickly and is easy to work with.
  • Disadvantages: Regular irrigation and fertilization are necessary due to its low water storage capacity and lack of nutrients.
  • Suitable for: Crops that do not tolerate waterlogging, such as root vegetables (e.g. carrots) or asparagus.

2. Loamy soil

  • Properties: Loamy soil has a balanced mixture of sand, silt and clay, which means it retains water and nutrients well, but is also aerated.
  • Advantages: Fertile and versatile, ideal for many plants.
  • Disadvantages: Can be heavy and sticky when wet, making tillage difficult.
  • Suitable for: Many types of plants, including cereals, vegetables and fruit trees.

3. Clay soil

  • Properties: Clay soil consists of very fine particles that adhere closely to each other. It stores a lot of water and nutrients, but is poorly aerated and compacts easily.
  • Advantages: High nutrient content and good water retention.
  • Disadvantages: Poorly permeable, tends to become waterlogged and is difficult to work with.
  • Suitable for: Plants that require an even supply of moisture, such as rice or certain cereals.
