The importance of enhancing and upgrading such mechanization practices prior to the almost inevitable transition to engine-driven equipment is now well recognized. Automation of agricultural mechanization is an intensive area of research and development with emphasis on enhancement of food quality, preservation of operator comfort and safety, precision application of agrochemicals, energy conservation and environmental control.
The development of the moldboard plow facilitated the inversion and burial of layers of surface vegetation (grass, weeds, cereal stubble), exposing a virgin soil surface which could then be further broken down into a fine seed bed by draft or power driven tined implements. The development of the multi-furrow moldboard plow powered by high-speed tractors underscores the high productivity of modern mechanization systems as compared to the single furrow plow drawn by a slow moving draft animal.
