A seedbed is a prepared area in soil where seeds are sown for germination and early growth. It is typically cultivated to create optimal conditions for seeds to sprout, including proper moisture, aeration, and nutrient availability. Seedbeds can be created in various forms, such as raised beds, rows, or plots, depending on the type of crops being planted and the gardening or farming practices used. Proper seedbed preparation is crucial for successful planting and healthy plant development.

Tilled refers to land that has been prepared for planting by plowing, harrowing, or cultivating the soil to loosen it and create a suitable seedbed.
Primary tillage is the initial soil cultivation done to break up the soil and prepare it for planting. It is usually deeper and more aggressive, aimed at loosening compacted soil and incorporating organic matter. Secondary tillage, on the other hand, comes after primary tillage and focuses on refining the seedbed by breaking up clods, leveling the soil, and creating a finer, more even seedbed.
It is called tilling or plowing the soil. This process helps aerate the soil, improve drainage, and create a seedbed for planting crops.
The zig-zag harrow is primarily used for soil cultivation, seedbed preparation, and the incorporation of crop residues. Its advantages include improved soil aeration, effective weed control, and the ability to break up clumps of soil, leading to a finer seedbed. However, disadvantages include potential soil compaction if used excessively and limited effectiveness in very wet or very dry conditions. Additionally, it may not be suitable for deeper tillage tasks compared to other implements.
