Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plough is a tool or a farm implement used for loosening and turning the soil. This is done in preparation for sowing seeds or planting. Loosened soil brings the nutrients to the top layer of the soils. These nutrients allow seeds to germinate quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plough or plow (US; both /plaʊ/) is a farm tool for loosening or turning the soil before sowing seed or planting. Ploughs were traditionally drawn by oxen and horses but in modern farms are drawn by tractors. A plough may have a wooden, iron or steel frame with a blade attached to cut and loosen the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -With “plowing” it’s intended that process which allows to remove horizontal clods from the soil. The clods then will be rolled over and destroyed in order to bring the soil back to its original phase, helping the passage of organic substances, providing space and nutriments to the new crop.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plow as long before planting as possible, so the soil will have ample time to settle into good seed-bed condition and store up moisture for the coming crop. Deep plowing enlarges the moisture reservoir and gives more root room-see article. Late fall and winter plowing destroys weeds and many insects.
