Abstract

One experiment was conducted to study the effect of angle of penetration of share of a 20 em size nlould board plough and a 30 cm size sweep with bevel angle of 15 degrees at two levels of soil moisture content 22 and 18.5% for mould board plough and 21 and 18) for sweep. Minimum unit draft of 0.40 to 0.41 kg/cm2 was found with penetration angle of 21 to 25° for mould board plough. The unit draft of 0.62 to 0.72 kg/cm2 was found with angles of penetration of 25 to 29° with the sweep at soil moisture content of21 %. At lower soil moisture content of J 8.5
