'''Tillage''' is the agricultural practice of preparing the [[soil]] for planting by mechanical agitation, such as digging, stirring, and overturning. This practice is used to modify the soil structure, control [[weed]]s, and manage crop residues.

== History ==

The history of tillage dates back to the [[Neolithic Revolution]], when humans transitioned from nomadic hunting and gathering to settled farming. Early forms of tillage involved the use of simple hand tools like digging sticks and hoes. The [[plough]] was a significant advancement in tillage technology, first used in the ancient civilizations of [[Mesopotamia]] and [[Egypt]].

== Types of Tillage ==

There are several types of tillage, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

=== Conventional Tillage ===

[[Conventional tillage]] involves the use of a plough to break up and turn over the soil. This method is effective at controlling weeds and preparing a smooth seedbed, but it can lead to soil erosion and degradation.

=== Reduced Tillage ===

[[Reduced tillage]] is a practice that minimizes soil disturbance. This method can help to improve soil structure and fertility, and reduce erosion. However, it may not be as effective at controlling weeds or preparing a seedbed as conventional tillage.

=== No-Till Farming ===

[[No-till farming]] is a method of growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage. This practice can help to conserve soil and water, and reduce the impact of farming on the environment. However, it may require more use of herbicides to control weeds.

== Environmental Impact ==

Tillage has significant environmental impacts. It can lead to soil erosion, loss of organic matter, and degradation of soil structure. However, sustainable tillage practices, such as reduced tillage and no-till farming, can help to mitigate these impacts.
