Tillage practices refer to the agricultural methods used to prepare soil for planting crops. These practices can include turning the soil over, breaking it up, and mixing in organic matter. Common types of tillage include conventional tillage, where the soil is fully turned, and conservation tillage, which minimizes soil disturbance to protect the environment. The choice of tillage practice can impact soil health, crop yield, and erosion rates. No-till farming is a popular conservation method that leaves the soil undisturbed, helping to retain moisture and improve soil structure. Farmers select tillage practices based on their specific soil conditions and crop needs.
