What is the difference?
- 1Equipment: Discing uses a disc harrow or cultivator, while tilling uses a plow or tiller.
- 2Depth: Tilling involves deeper soil penetration than discing.
- 3Purpose: Discing is primarily used to mix soil, crop residue, and fertilizer, while tilling is used to break up soil and prepare it for planting.
- 4Timing: Discing is usually done after tilling to further prepare the soil, while tilling is typically done before planting.
- 5Effectiveness: Tilling is more effective in removing weeds and other debris from the soil than discing.
Remember this!
Discing and tilling are both essential steps in preparing soil for planting. While they share similarities, such as the use of machinery and breaking up soil clumps, there are also differences between them. Discing is primarily used to mix soil, crop residue, and fertilizer, while tilling is used to break up soil and remove debris. Additionally, tilling involves deeper soil penetration and is more effective in removing weeds.
