Which of the following is an example of a farm implement used for soil preparation in agriculture?

Soil preparation implements include: plows (break and turn soil), harrows (break clods, level soil), ridgers (make ridges for planting), and cultivators (loosen soil between rows).

Plows can be moldboard (turns soil completely), disc (cuts and mixes), or chisel (deep loosening). Choice depends on soil type and cropping system.

Good soil preparation creates favorable conditions for seed germination and root growth by improving soil structure, aeration, and water infiltration.
