Mouldboard ploughs were more efficient because their curved blades effectively turned and aerated the soil, promoting better seedbed preparation. This design allowed for deeper tillage, which improved soil structure and drainage. Additionally, the mouldboard plough facilitated the turning of weeds and residues into the soil, enhancing nutrient availability for crops. Overall, this led to higher crop yields and reduced the need for multiple passes over the field.

Why were mouldboard ploughs more efficient in the middle age?
Medieval ploughs were made in many different ways, according to local soil conditions. The mouldboard plough was used in heavy soils such as clays and its main benefit was in turning the soil aside, producing distinctive ridges and furrows - the crops were then grown on the ridges and water could drain away into the furrows. A drawback in the design was that the wooden mouldboard could become clogged with soil, meaning that the plough was less efficient and much harder to move. Many ploughmen took along a carpenter's axe (also known as a T-axe) and hung this on the beam of the plough, just behind the oxen. It was used to clean off the mouldboard whenever it became clogged. I have a number of manuscript illustrations from the 12th century showing this axe hung on the plough-beam (in one case the ploughman carries it in his hand).
Difference between disc plough and mould board plough?
A disc plough uses concave discs to cut and turn the soil, making it effective in tough and rocky conditions. In contrast, a mouldboard plough features curved blades that slice through the soil and invert it, creating a furrow. While disc ploughs are better suited for hard or stony ground, mouldboard ploughs are ideal for softer, loamy soils where thorough soil inversion is desired. Overall, their design and functionality cater to different soil types and farming needs.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a disc plough over a mouldboard plough?
Disc plough has discs which in turn offer rolling friction instead of sliding friction. As a result effort is less, fuel economy is there and moreover discs are also heavy which result in cutting of the weeds as well as better soil penetration.disc plough can penetrate in soils that are harder to the mouldboard.disc plough has self sharpening mechanismsdisc plough relies on its in built weight to penetrate in the soil.disc plough can work well even if a considerable piece has scraped of.disc plough can work in soils that are rocky and stumpy without breaking off.
