Tillage refers to the removal of a thin layer of soil, usually to prepare it for sowing seeds or planting. It involves breaking up the surface of the soil and loosening it to create a smooth, even surface. The purpose of tillage is to break up clods, aerate the soil, and remove weeds or debris, allowing seeds to germinate and grow in good conditions. It is an important process in agriculture, landscaping, and gardening to promote healthy root growth, reduce soil compaction, and control weeds.
