Tillage methods refer to the agricultural practices used to prepare soil for planting crops. These methods can be broadly categorized into conventional tillage, which involves plowing and turning the soil, and conservation tillage, which minimizes soil disturbance. Conservation tillage includes practices like no-till and reduced-till, which help maintain soil structure and reduce erosion. Different tillage methods impact soil health, water retention, and crop yields. For instance, no-till farming can improve soil organic matter and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Farmers choose tillage methods based on their specific soil conditions, crop types, and environmental goals.
