the course is entitles as machinery and primary tillage; this course is mainly focus on the different tillage practices affecting the production capacity of the land and the management aspects for those problems.
Plant crops in propagation lant propagation is the process of increasing the number of plants of a particular species or cultivar. There are two primary forms of plant propagation: sexual and asexual. In nature, propagation of plants most often involves sexual reproduction, or the production of viable seeds.
Tillage is the mechanical manipulation of soil with tools and implements for obtaining conditions ideal for seed germination, seedling establishment and growth of crops.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Introduction
Mechanical manipulation of soil to provide favorable
condition for proper crop growth is called tillage.
Soil tillage consists of breaking the compact surface of
earth to a certain depth.
To loosen the soil mass so as to enable the roots of the
crops to penetrate and spread into the soil.
4. Objectives of Tillage
To prepare a desirable soil structure suitable for different types of
crops.
A granular structure is desirable to allow rapid infiltration
Good retention of rainfall, to provide adequate air capacity.
Minimize resistance to root penetration.
To control weeds or to remove unwanted crop plants.
To minimize soil erosion.
To establish specific surface configurations for planting, irrigating,
drainage, harvesting operations etc.
To incorporate and mix fertilizer, pesticide, soil amendments etc. in
the soil
6. Primary tillage
The initial major soil working operation
and designed to plough the soil deeply
The objectives of primary tillage
To reduce soil strength
To rearrange aggregates
To cover plant materials and burry weeds
To kill insects and pests
7. Primary tillage implements
The implements used for primary tillage are called as primary
tillage implements.
Animal drawn implements
mostly include indigenous
ploughs and mould-board
ploughs.
Tractor drawn implements
include mould-board ploughs,
disc ploughs, heavy duty disk
harrows, sub soil ploughs,
chisel ploughs and other similar
implements.
8. Secondary tillage:
Lighter and finer tillage operations
performed in the soil.
After primary tillage to create proper
soil tilt called secondary tillage
operations.
Secondary tillage operations are
generally done on the soil surface
They do not cause much soil inversion
and shifting of soil from one place to
other.
They consume less power per unit area
compared to primary tillage operations.
9. Objectives of secondary tillage
To break the big clods and make the soil surface uniform.
To pulverize the soil of the seedbeds in the field.
To destroy grasses and weeds in the field.
To cut crop residues and mix them with top soil
The implements used for secondary tillage.
They include different types of harrow, cultivators, sweeps, clod
crushers, levellers, bund formers, ridge ploughs etc.
10.
11. TILLAGE SYSTEMS
Tillage system consists of sequences of operations that manipulate
the soil in order to produce a crop.
The operations include tilling, planting, fertilization, pesticide
application, harvesting, and residue chopping or shredding.
The ways in which these operations are implemented affect the
physical and chemical properties of the soil, which in turn affect plant
growth.
There are two types of tillage systems namely
Conservation tillage system including no-till, ridge till and mulch till
systems and
Other than conservation tillage systems namely
a. Reduced tillage system
b. Conventional tillage system
13. PLOUGHING OF LAND:
Ploughing of land separates the top layer of soil into furrow slices.
The furrows are turned sideways and inverted to a varying degree,
depending upon the type of plough being used.
It is a primary tillage
operation, which is
performed to shatter soil
uniformly with partial or
complete soil inversion.
14. PLOUGHING OF LAND:
Ploughing of land separates the top layer of soil into furrow slices.
The furrows are turned sideways and inverted to a varying degree,
depending upon the type of plough being used.
It is a primary tillage
operation, which is
performed to shatter soil
uniformly with partial or
complete soil inversion.
15. Furrow terminologies
Furrow: It is a trench formed by an implement in the soil during
the field operation
Furrow slice: The mass of soil cut, lifted and thrown to one side is
called furrow slice.
Furrow wall: It is an undisturbed soil surface by the side of a
furrow.
16. Crown: The top portion of the turned furrow slice is called crown.
Back furrow: A raised ridge left at the centre of the strip of land
when ploughing is started from centre to side is called back furrow.
When the ploughing is started in the middle of a field, furrow is
collected across the field and while returning trip another furrow
slice is lapped over the first furrow.
17. Dead furrow: An open trench left in between two adjacent strips of
land after finishing ploughing is called dead furrow
Head land: While ploughing a land with a tractor a strip of
unploughed land is left at each end of the field for the tractor to turn,
that is called head land.
The head land is about 6 meters wide for two or three bottom tractor
plough and one meter more for each additional bottom.
18. METHODS OF PLOUGHING A LAND
There are two main methods of ploughing a field which are known as
“inlands” and “round about” ploughing.
A normal right hand plough must always have an open furrow on the right
in which to lay the next furrow slice.
It is therefore, necessary to travel across the field in one place and come
back in another.
There are two ways of doing this by “gathering” and “casting‟
19. Gathering:
Whenever a plough works round a strip of ploughed land, it is said to be
gathering.
The tractor and plough turns to right each time the head land is reached.
When the land is ploughed, a raised ridge (double width ridge) is
formed in the center of the field.
This however would be uneconomical way of working as time is wasted
at the start in making awkward turns, while later, total idle running
would be increased along the head land.
20. Casting:
Whenever a plough works round a strip of unploughed land, it is said
to be casting.
The tractor and plough turns to the left each time the head land is
reached.
When the land is ploughed in this way a wide furrow (double width
furrow) will be left in the center and is termed as „finish‟ or open
furrow or dead furrow
24. Classification of ploughs according to power used
a) Bullock drawn ploughs- indigenous types
1. Walking type
1. Short
beam
2. Riding type
3. b) Tractor
drawn ploughs
4. Mounted type
5. Semi mounted type
26. It is an animal drawn plough.
It penetrates into the soil and breaks it open.
It forms V shaped furrows with 15-20 cm top width and 12-15 cm
depth.
It can be used for ploughing in dry land, garden land and wetlands.
The size of the plough is represented by the width of the body
The field capacity is around 0.4 ha per day of 8 hours.
27. INDIGENOUS PLOUGH
The functional components include share, body, shoe, handle and beam.
Except share all other parts are made up of wood.
In villages local artisans make the plough and supply to the farmers.
These ploughs are also called as country ploughs.
28. Share - It is the working part of the plough attached to the shoe with
which it penetrates into the soil and breaks it open.
Shoe - It supports and stabilizes the plough at the required depth
Body - It is the main part of the plough to which the shoe, beam and handle
are attached.
- In country ploughs both body and shoe are made in a single piece
of wood.
29. Beam - It is a long wooden piece, which connects the main body of the
plough to the yoke.
Handle - A wooden piece vertically attached to the body to enable the
operator to control the plough while it is working.
30. Operational adjustments
Lowering or raising the free end of the
beam with respect to the plough body
results in an increase or decrease in the
share angle with respect to the
horizontal surface which in turn
increase or decrease the depth of
ploughing.
Changing the length of the beam
between plough body and yoke of the
animals will also alter the depth of
ploughing. Reducing the beam length
will decrease the depth of cut and vice
versa.
32. MOULD BOARD PLOUGH
Moldboard plough is one of the oldest of all agricultural
implements and is generally considered to be the important tillage
implement.
Ploughing accounts for more traction energy than any other field
operation.
Mouldboard ploughs are available for animals, power tiller and tractor
operation.
While working, a mouldboard plough does four jobs namely
a) Cutting the furrow slice
b) Lifting the furrow slice
c) Inverting the furrow slice
d) Pulverizing the furrow slice
33. COMPONENTS OFA MOULDBOARD PLOUGH
A animal drawn mouldboard plough consists of
a) Plough bottom
b) Beam and
c) Hitch bracket or clevis.
35. a) Plough bottom
The part of the plough which actually cuts, lifts, pulverizes and
through the soil out of the furrow.
It is composed of those parts necessary for the rigid structure
required to cut, lift, turn, and invert the soil.
36. Parts of the mouldboard plough bottom
a) Share
b) Mould board
c) Land side
d) Frog
e) Tail piece.
Share, landside, mouldboard are bolted to the frog which is an irregular
piece of cast iron.
37. Share: It is that part of the plough bottom
which penetrates into the soil and makes a
horizontal cut below the surface.
Mould board: It is the curved part which
lifts, turns, and pulverizes the soil slice.
Land side: It is the flat plate which presses
against the furrow wall and prevents the
plough from lateral swinging.
The rear part of land side is called heel
which slides on the bottom of the furrow.
Frog: It is the part to which share, land
side and mouldboard are attached.
38. Types of Shares
i) Slip share
ii) Slip nose share
iii) Shin share and
iv) Bar point share.
Slip share:
It is one piece share with curved
cutting edge, having no additional part.
It is a common type of share, mostly
used by the farmers.
It is simple in design, but it has got
the disadvantage that the entire share
has to be replaced if it is worn out due
to constant use.
39. Slip nose share:
It is a share in which the point of share is provided by a small
detachable piece.
It has the advantage that the share point can be replaced as and when
required.
If the point is worn out, it can be changed with a new nose without
replacing the entire share, effecting considerable economy
40. Shin share:
It is the share having a shin as an additional part.
It is similar to the slip share with the difference that an extension is
provided to it by the side of the mouldboard.
Bar point share:
It is the share in which the point of the share is provided by an
adjustable and replaceable iron bar.
This bar serves the purpose of share point and land side of the plough.
41. Mouldboard:
It is that part of the plough which
receives the furrow slice from the share.
It lifts, turns and breaks the furrow
slice.
To suit different soil conditions and
crop requirements, mouldboard has been
designed in different shapes.
Ttypes of mouldboard:
a) General purpose
b) Stubble type
c) Sod or Breaker type
d) Slat type.
42.
43.
44. Frog:
Frog is that part of the plough bottom to which the other components of
the plough bottom are attached.
It is an irregular piece of metal.
It is made of cast iron for cast iron ploughs or it may be welded steel for
steel ploughs.
Tail piece:
It is an important extension of mouldboard which helps in turning a
furrow slice.
45. There are a few accessories necessary for
efficient function of the plough.
(i) Jointer
(ii) Coulter
(iii)Gauge wheel
(iv)Land wheel and
(v) Furrow wheel.
(i)Jointer
It is a small irregular piece of metal
having a shape similar to an ordinary
plough bottom.
Its purpose is to turn over a small ribbon
like furrow slice directly in front of the
main plough bottom.
PLOUGH ACCESSORIES
46. (ii)Coulter
It is a device used to cut the furrow slice vertically from the land
ahead of the plough bottom.
It cuts the furrow slice from the land and leaves a clear wall.
It also cuts trashes which are covered under the soil by the plough.
b. Sliding type knife coulter
a. Rolling type disc coulter
47. (iii)Gauge wheel
It is an auxiliary wheel of an implement to maintain an uniform
depth of working.
It is usually placed in hanging position.
(iv)Land wheel - It is the wheel of the plough which runs on the
ploughed land.
Front furrow wheel - It is the front wheel of the plough which runs in
the furrow.
Rear furrow wheel - It is the rear wheel of the plough which runs in
the furrow.
49. DISC PLOUGH
Disc plough cuts, turns and in some cases breaks furrow slices by
means of separately mounted large steel concave discs.
A disc plough is designed with a view to reduce friction by making
a rolling plough bottom instead of sliding plough bottom.
The disc plough consists of steel disc of 60 to 90 cm dia. set at an
angle to the direction of travel
Disc plough is especially useful in hard and dry, trashy, stony or
stumpy land conditions
50. Types of Disc Plough
2. Standard disc plough
1. Vertical disc plough.
51. (i) Standard disc plough
It consists of steel disc of 60 to 90
cm diameter, set at a certain angle
to the direction of travel.
Each disc revolves on a stub axle
in a thrust bearing, carried at the
lower end of a strong stand which is
bolted to the plough beam.
The angle of the disc to the
vertical and to the furrow wall is
adjustable.
In action, the disc cuts the soil,
breaks it and pushes it sideways.
52. There is little inversion of furrow
slice as well as little burying of
weeds and trashes.
The disc plough may be mounted
type or trailed type.
In mounted disc plough, the side
thrust is taken by the wheels of the
tractor.
Disc - It is a circular, concave
revolving steel plate used for cutting
and inverting the soil.
Disc is made of heat treated steel
of 5 mm to 10 mm thickness.
53. Disc angle - It is the angle at which the plane of the cutting
edge of the disc is inclined to the direction of travel.
Usually the disc angle of good plough varies between 42°
to 45°.
Tilt angle - It is the angle at which the plane of the cutting
edge of the disc is inclined to a vertical line.
The tilt angle varies from 15° to 25° for a good plough.
Scraper - It is a device to remove soil that tend to stick to
the working surface of a disc.
Concavity - It is the depth measured at the centre of the
disc by placing its concave side on a flat surface.
The amount of concavity varies with the diameter of the
disc.
The approximate values being 8 cm for 60 cm diameter
disc and 16 cm for 95 cm diameter.
54. SUB-SOIL PLOUGH
• The function of the sub-soiler is to penetrate deeper than the
conventional cultivation machinery and break up the layers of the
soil.
• which have become compacted due to the movement of heavy
machinery or as a result of continuous ploughing at a constant
depth.
• These compacted areas prevent the natural drainage of the soil
and also inhibit the passage of air and nutrients through the soil
structure.
• The sub-soiler consists of heavier tyne than the chisel plough to
break through impervious layer shattering the sub-soil to a depth
of 45 to 75 cm and requires 60 to 100 hp to operate it.
• The cost of the unit is Rs.13, 000/-.
56. CHISEL PLOUGH
Chisel ploughs are used to break through and shatter compacted or
otherwise impermeable soil layers.
Deep tillage shatters compacted sub soil layers and aids in better
infiltration and storage of rainwater in the crop root zone.
58. Classification Of Tractor Drawn Implements
a) Trailed type implement
b) Semi-mounted implement
c) Mounted implement
Based on the type of hitching tractor drawn implements are
classified as
Editor's Notes
1. ploughing helps to increase the friendly microbes and worms in the soil which helps in further turning of the soil.2. ploughing makes the soil loose, which makes the plants easier to breathe through the porous soil.3. ploughing kills the weeds present in the soil and suffocates them to death.4. it brings the fresh nutrients to the upper layer of the soil so, that the plants can use them.5. ploughing helps the plant's roots to penetrate deep into the soil.
