Jethro Tull was father of tillage.
There is no specific individual who can be credited as the "father of tillage" as it is a practice that has been used by humans for thousands of years. Tillage, or the preparation of soil for agriculture, has been carried out by civilizations around the world throughout history, with various techniques evolving over time.
Minimum tillage which is a soil tillage to approximately depth of 10 cm by means of cultivars and reduced tillage which is also includes deeper cultivation but not to the plough depth (Davies, et al., 2006).
tillage is which you use a tool to make the soil good
primary tillage refers to tillage after harvesting or on virgin piece of land where soil is inverted and plant residues and sometimes manure/ fertilizer is added. On the other hand, secondary tillage is done after primary tillage and it involves breaking the soil particles into smaller pieces and sometimes includes formation of rows for planting.
Some fields are for grazing , others are for tillage to sow new crops.
The objective of primary tillage is to attain a reasonable depth of soft soil, incorporate crop residues, kill weeds, and to aerate the soil. Secondary tillage is any subsequent tillage, to incorporate fertilizers, reduce the soil to a finer tilth, level the surface, or control weeds.
1- Shelter Belts. (Planting trees or rows of trees to stop wind erosion.) 2- Strip cropping. (Seeding fields in strips and only cultivating the unseeded strips to avoid erosion of the whole field.) 3-Zero-tillage farming. (Using zero-til seeding implements to avoid tillage of the land, thus avoiding wind and soil erosion.)
