Tillage is the agricultural practice of preparing soil for planting crops. This process involves turning over and breaking up the soil to create a suitable environment for seeds to grow. Tillage can improve soil aeration, control weeds, and incorporate organic matter, which enhances soil fertility. There are different types of tillage, including conventional tillage, reduced tillage, and no-till farming. Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, affecting soil structure, moisture retention, and erosion. Farmers choose a tillage method based on their specific crop needs, soil type, and environmental considerations.
