Tárcsákban

"Tárcsákban" is a Hungarian word that translates to "in discs" or "in plates." The term is most commonly used in the context of agriculture, specifically referring to a type of tillage equipment known as a disc harrow or simply a disc. This agricultural implement consists of one or more gangs of concave metal discs. These discs are mounted on an axle and are used to break up soil clods, incorporate crop residue into the soil, and prepare a seedbed for planting.

When a farmer refers to working the land "tárcsákban," they mean they are using a disc harrow. The action of the discs cuts, stirs, and mixes the soil, effectively "tárcsákban" or in discs. The depth and intensity of the tillage can be adjusted by altering the angle of the disc gangs. Different types of disc harrows exist, including tandem discs, offset discs, and heavy-duty discs, each suited for specific soil conditions and farming practices. The use of discs is a fundamental step in many agricultural crop production cycles, aimed at improving soil structure and fertility. Beyond agriculture, the term "tárcsákban" could theoretically be used in other contexts where something is arranged or processed in disc-like layers, though its primary and most recognized application remains in farming.
