   However, conservation tillage delays warming of the soil due to the reduction of dark earth exposure to the warmth of the spring sun, thus delaying the planting of the next year's spring crop of corn. [10] No-till – plows, disks, et cetera are not used. Aims for 100% ground cover.

4. Harrow (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_(tool)

   The purpose of harrowing is to break up clods and to provide a soil structure, called tilth, that is suitable for planting seeds. Coarser harrowing may also be used to remove weeds and to cover seed after sowing. Harrows differ from ploughs, which cut the upper 12 to 25 centimetre (5 to 10 in) layer of soil, and leave furrows, parallel trenches.

5. Gumbo (soil) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumbo_(soil)

   Gumbo soil is typically defined by the overwhelming presence of very fine particles of clay, but often has small amounts of sand and/or organic material. [1]Although gumbo soils are exceptional at water retention, they can be difficult to farm, as precipitation will turn gumbo into a unique muddy mess that is challenging to work using large commercial farming equipment.

6. Green manure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_manure

   Harvesters gather the green manure crops and mix the plant material into the soil. The un-decomposed plants prepare the ground for cash crops by slowly releasing nutrients like nitrogen into the soil. [3] Farmers may decide to add the green manure into the soil before or after cash crop planting.

7. Gardening - Wikipedia

   Plant domestication is seen as the birth of agriculture. However, it is arguably proceeded by a very long history of gardening wild plants. While the 12,000 year-old date is the commonly accepted timeline describing plant domestication, there is now evidence from the Ohalo II hunter-gatherer site showing earlier signs of disturbing the soil and cultivation of pre-domesticated crop species.
