- The mouldboard is the other main part of the plow which turns over the earth previously cut by the courter and the share. ❋ Unknown (1995)
It is to the frog that the mouldboard and the share are attached. ❋ Unknown (1995)
Once they are very wet, they stick to the mouldboard and make the work difficult. ❋ Unknown (1995)
Fig. 3.22: The furrow slice is cut by the courter and by the share and turned over by the mouldboard. ❋ Unknown (1995)
During the early stages of project formulation, three main treatments were selected for investigation, namely: mouldboard ploughing, ripping into bare ground and no-till tied ridging. ❋ Unknown (1992)
From the first three years 'results it would appear that, in the dry region, tied ridging will meet the criterion of equal or improved yield levels compared to mouldboard ploughing only if existing management practices, in particular with respect to timely planting and first weeding, are improved. ❋ Unknown (1992)
The green manures were incorporated in situ 60 DE by a tractor-mounted rototiller and by a power tiller-drawn mouldboard plough in ❋ Unknown (1992)
At the same time, 9,6 t/ha/yr were lost from the fields ploughed with the mouldboard plough. ❋ Unknown (1992)
A major factor causing soil erosion in Zimbabwe is clean tillage involving the mouldboard plough which is often used too late (after the onset of the rainy season) and/or done too shallow (approx. 125 mm) because of a general lack of (suitable) draught animals. ❋ Unknown (1992)
In contrast to the mouldboard plow the ridger achieves approximately double the area performance (Nelles, 1989; Viebig, 1982), because of the greater working width and since it only works half the field. ❋ Unknown (1991)
A comparison of the distribution of the ridger and mouldboard plows showed that in 58 % of the regions where the mouldboard plow is employed the ridger also exists. ❋ Unknown (1991)
The mouldboard plow has become widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics at the level of animal traction, in contrast to motor mechanization where disk implements dominate. ❋ Unknown (1991)
Implements that work symmetrically to the line of draft power and rotating implements mainly loosen and mix the soil, while the mouldboard plow primarily turns it. ❋ Unknown (1991)
Problems are encountered with the rapid abrasion of some parts of the mouldboard plow. ❋ Unknown (1991)
Krause et al. (1984) consider this implement to be more suited for drier conditions in comparison to the mouldboard plow, since it reduces expansion of the soil surface area that is exposed to wind and water. ❋ Unknown (1991)
The mouldboard plow turns the soil and leaves a cleaner seedbed than the ard or chisel plow. ❋ Unknown (1991)
The conventional plow is generally cheaper and lighter, can achieve greater working width due to the better designed mouldboard shape and is less susceptible to clogging. ❋ Unknown (1991)
On the other hand, in the humid tropics where a constant covering of the soil with mulch would in principle be possible and necessary in view of the erosion effect of the rainfall, the mouldboard plow is used as a soil preparation implement because it achieves better weed control, among other things. ❋ Unknown (1991)
Prior to the introduction of mouldboard plows the work was done manually or with traditional animal-drawn implements; now a new unknown technology has been introduced whose principles of functioning are not simply understood. ❋ Unknown (1991)
In contrast to the mouldboard plow the point of attachment is more stable, since it is not connected with the width adjustment. ❋ Unknown (1991)
