Question

What did the plow had a impact on agriculture?

Answer 1

it opened the prairie for farming......John Deere

Answer 2

Plough is the most basic implement in agriculture for tilling of land .

Answer 3

The plow, though developed much earlier, came into wide spread use when it was made and marketed in the 1830s as a cast iron plow by a blacksmith named John Deere. Use of the plow expanded rapidly with the introduction of the tractor in the early 1900,s that led to widespread severe soil erosion and environmental degradation culminating in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. A transition from moldboard plow to various forms of conservation tillage began with the development of 2,4-D after World War II. No-till is presently practiced on about 95 million hectares globally. No-till technologies are very effective in minimizing soil and crop residue disturbance, controlling soil evaporation, minimizing erosion losses, sequestering C in soil and reducing energy needs. However, no-till is effective only with the use of crop residue as mulch, which has numerous competing uses. No-till farming can reduce yield in poorly drained, clayey soils when springtime is cold and wet. Soil-specific research is needed to enhance applicability of no-till farming by alleviating biophysical, economic, social and cultural constraints. There is a strong need to enhance sustainability of production systems while improving the environmental quality.

Answer 4

Writing  is obviously not your strong subject, right?

Answer 5

Plowing especially helps distribute good nutrientrs to the soil especially if the land being plowed was planted by legumes. Legumes are crops that leaves nutrients to the soil and contributes to better plant growth especially in rice farming.

Answer 6

Plows permitted the cultivation of large surface areas and thus rapid increase in production which helped humans meet increase demand for food with explosion in human population. They ease the mechanical breakdown of soils which eased seed germination and crop establishment. Today they are form an integral part of complex tractors and help in rapid tilling of large areas which made them play an important create vast acres of cultivated land which
