"Tillage practices" refers to the various methods and techniques used in farming to prepare and cultivate the soil for planting crops. It involves activities such as plowing, harrowing, and tilling, which help loosen and turn the soil, remove weeds, and create a favorable environment for seeds to germinate and grow.
Full definition
Blanco is now testing these hypotheses in three additional long - term experiments in Nebraska that encompass a wider range
of tillage practices and cropping systems.
The study found that
conventional tillage practices result in higher profits than no - till practices; however, continuous no - till planting reduces risk exposure by decreasing yield variability.
Forage studies and other research
on tillage practices, moisture retention, carbon storage, and other climate parameters remind us that a climate assessment must acknowledge that not only does climate affect rangelands, but broad expanses of rangeland also may affect climate (Retallack 2013).
We have already seen a lot of interest from our farming clients in this new opportunity since until now, farmers could only participate in the carbon markets by adopting
sustainable tillage practices.
Sustainable agricultural strategies comprising recycling of organic matter, tightening internal nutrient cycles, and low - or no -
tillage practices may rebuild organic matter levels and reduce losses from the system.

Dr. Nichols examines the impacts of management such as crop rotation,
tillage practices, organic production, cover crops, and livestock grazing on soil aggregation, water relationships, and glomalin.
Direction of change depends on initial level of organic matter and subsequent cropping and
tillage practices, Fenster and Peterson (1979); Campbell et al. (1991); Ismail et al. (1994).
