Chisel Plough
The Supreme chisel plough fractures compacted subsoil layers without inverting the profile. Manufactured in Faisalabad by Supreme Agri Implements, it lifts and cracks the hardpan that forms under years of repeated shallow tillage, restoring water infiltration and letting roots reach deeper moisture.

What does a chisel plough do?
A hardpan is invisible from the surface and easy to misdiagnose. Water ponds after irrigation instead of soaking away, roots turn sideways at a consistent depth, and the crop wilts quickly in dry spells despite adequate irrigation because it cannot reach moisture stored below. The cause is a compacted layer formed by machinery and repeated tillage at a fixed depth.
The chisel plough addresses this by running narrow, strong tines below the pan and lifting, which cracks the compacted layer without turning the soil over. Surface residue stays where it is — an important difference from the MB plough, and the reason the chisel plough is considered a soil-conserving implement.
Timing matters more than with any other tillage tool. Chiselling works when the subsoil is dry enough to fracture; pull it through wet soil and the tines simply slot through, leaving a smeared channel and achieving nothing. Done at the right moisture, the effect lasts several seasons.

- Chisel when the subsoil is dry. Working wet soil smears the channel and achieves nothing.
- Run the tines below the pan, not into it — too shallow and you simply reinforce the problem.
- This is a periodic operation, not an annual one; the benefit typically lasts several seasons.
