The plough detaches a furrow slice in the ratio of width (b) to depth (t) of b:t = 1.2:1 to 1.4:1 — in loose soil somewhat narrower, though not narrower than 1:1. It passes beneath the clod with the "undergrip" of the ploughshare, breaks it free from the subsoil, leads it over the curved mouldboard — whereby the furrow slice shatters in shearing action into predetermined breaking-pieces — and, offset by the cutting width, leans against the preceding furrow slice at an inclination of approximately 135°. The humus-bearing living topsoil either crumbles, decreasing from top to bottom, into the momentarily arising cleft before the clod is laid down — or it is, in the case of the application of farmyard manure or
