Tillage is the agricultural practice of preparing soil for planting crops. It involves turning over and breaking up the soil to create a suitable environment for seeds to grow. This process can help control weeds, improve soil aeration, and enhance water infiltration. There are different types of tillage, including conventional tillage, which involves plowing and harrowing, and conservation tillage, which minimizes soil disturbance. Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, affecting soil health, crop yield, and environmental impact. Farmers choose a tillage method based on their specific needs and conditions.
