A Plough or Plow is an Agricultural Implement which is used to cut the soil and make it suitable for the process called seed sowing. Before sowing the seeds into the field, it is paramount to make the field suitable. To accomplish this, different types of ploughs are used nowadays.
Ploughing the soil only releases nitrogen that was already present in an unavailable form. This happens naturally over longer periods of time. By plowing you are in effect mining the soil of its nutrients. The organic matter that breaks down the easiest is the first to be mined/oxidized. Think of it like a fire. Plowing adds oxygen to the soil making the fire burn hotter releasing most of the nitrogen to the air and some to the plants. IT DOES NOT ADD NITROGEN TO THE SOIL. That nitrogen was already there in a stable state to be used later. Now you lost much of it to denitrification (the air).
