Abstract

An experiment was conducted to compare the efficiency of ploughs and disc harrows at incorporating winter wheat stubble into the soil. It was found that the disc harrow is better in terms of working speed (3.8 ha/h compared to 1.53 ha/h), fuel consumption (3.83 and 8.72 kg/ha), and specific energy consumption (27.15 and 67.27 kWh/ha). However, incorporation of the residue was more uniform with the plough than with the harrow.
