Tillage is the process of preparing soil for planting crops. It has been used in agriculture for a long time and is important for growing food. Choosing the right tillage tool is crucial for protecting soil and water. The way soil is tilled affects things like how much plant material covers the ground, the nutrients available to plants, soil compaction, and how water moves through the soil. It also impacts soil temperature and the living things in the soil. By making smart choices about how and when to till soil, farmers can help prevent soil damage, keep producing crops, and improve the quality of the soil and environment.
