"Disking" is a colloquialism for the using of a disc harrow in a farming operation. See the related link below to see Wikipedia's description and some pictures.
Yes, many farms still use disking as a land preparation technique. Disking involves using a disc harrow to break up and aerate the soil, which helps incorporate crop residues, control weeds, and improve soil structure. While some farms may adopt more modern no-till or reduced-till practices to promote soil health and reduce erosion, disking remains a common practice in various agricultural systems.
Cultivating is the act of uprooting weeds between rows of already growingÊvegetation. Discing is breaking up already plowed ground so that the soil becomes plantable. Discing tends to come before cultivation.
The least disruptive method is disking, which involves rolling a set of narrow round blades (called disks) down the field. This opens a narrow furrow where seeds can be placed without disturbing the root network that is holding the topsoil on the field.

Secondary tillage refers to the agricultural practices performed after primary tillage to refine the soil structure and prepare it for planting. This process typically involves operations like harrowing, disking, or cultivating, which help to break up clods, incorporate crop residues, and create a finer seedbed. Secondary tillage enhances soil aeration, improves moisture retention, and controls weeds, ultimately promoting better seed-to-soil contact for optimal crop growth.
