List of Similarities
- 1Both involve preparing soil for planting.
- 2Both are agricultural practices.
- 3Both require the use of tools, such as ploughs or tillers.
- 4Both aim to create a suitable environment for plant growth.
- 5Both can improve soil quality and fertility.
What is the difference?
- 1Method: Ploughing involves turning over the soil with a plough, while tilling involves loosening and aerating the soil with a tiller.
- 2Purpose: Ploughing is primarily done to create furrows for planting seeds, while tilling is done to create a smooth surface for planting and to promote plant growth.
- 3Depth: Ploughing can be deeper than tilling, as it involves turning over the soil completely, while tilling only loosens the top layer of soil.
- 4Timing: Ploughing is typically done before planting, while tilling can be done before or after planting.
- 5Equipment: Ploughing requires a plough, while tilling requires a tiller or cultivator.
Remember this!
Ploughing and tilling are both agricultural practices that involve preparing soil for planting. However, they differ in their methods, purposes, depth, timing, and equipment. Ploughing involves turning over the soil with a plough to create furrows for planting, while tilling involves loosening and aerating the soil with a tiller to create a smooth surface for planting and to promote plant growth.
