2. Vertical tillage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_tillage

   Emerging in North America in the 1970s and 1980s, vertical tillage (VT) is a system of principles and guidelines similar to conservation agriculture (CA) in that it aims to improve soil health, increase water infiltration and decrease soil erosion and compaction (improve bulk density).

3. Tillage erosion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage_Erosion

   Eroded hilltops due to tillage erosion. Tillage erosion is a form of soil erosion occurring in cultivated fields due to the movement of soil by tillage. [1] [2] There is growing evidence that tillage erosion is a major soil erosion process in agricultural lands, surpassing water and wind erosion in many fields all around the world, especially on sloping and hilly lands [3] [4] [5] A signature ...

4. Tillage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage

   Intensive tillage [note 1] leaves less than 15% crop residue cover or less than 500 pounds per acre (560 kg/ha) of small grain residue. This type of tillage is often referred to as conventional tillage, but as conservational tillage is now more widely used than intensive tillage (in the United States), [7] [8] it is often not appropriate to ...

5. Strip-till - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip-till

   Some farmers may not be able to strip-till if there is an early freeze. Though strip tillage can be successful without a global position system (GPS) based guidance, it can be beneficial. [10] Lastly, strip-till systems requires a high-horsepower tractor; however, the energy requirement is less than with conventional tillage systems. [15] [16]

6. Cultivator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivator

   Small tilling equipment, used in small gardens such as household gardens and small commercial gardens, can provide both primary and secondary tillage. For example, a rotary tiller does both the "plowing" and the "harrowing", preparing a smooth, loose seedbed. It does not provide the row-wise weed control that cultivator teeth would.

7. Broadcast seeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_seeding

   After broadcasting, seed is often lightly buried with some type of raking action, often done using vertical tillage tools. Utilizing these tools increases the success rate of germination by increasing seed-to-soil contact. [1] Seeds sown in this manner are distributed unevenly, which may result in overcrowding.
