WHAT DOES PLOWSHARE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

plowshare

Plowshare

In agriculture, a plowshare is a component of a plow. It is the cutting or leading edge of a moldboard which closely follows the coulter when plowing. The plowshare itself is often a hardened blade dressed into an integral moldboard so making a unified combination of plowshare and moldboard, the whole being responsible for entering the cleft in the earth and turning the earth over. In well-tilled terrain the plowshare may do duty without a preceding coulter. In modern plows both coulter and plowshare are detachable for easy replacement when worn or broken.
