Why Deep Plowing Isn't Universally Recommended

Deep plowing isn't universally endorsed for all soil types. While some soils, yielding high crop outputs, exhibit minimal benefits from deep plowing, others witness a potential doubling of yields.

Various rationales support deep plowing:

Enhancing Water Absorption: Certain soils struggle to absorb water effectively, leading to surface runoff instead of infiltration into the root zone. Deep plowing alters soil structure, facilitating improved water transport from the surface to the water table or drainage systems.

Soil Structure Restoration: Deep plowing serves to reconfigure soil structure by breaking up clods, overturning them, and creating space on the surface, especially beneficial for fields not previously subjected to intensive cultivation. This aids in nurturing the growth of future plants by providing adequate space for root expansion.

Weed Management: Deep plowing demonstrates efficacy in controlling numerous perennial weeds and often proves superior to shallow plowing in managing annual weed populations.
