TILLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Tilling is a term used to describe the process of preparing the soil for planting crops or gardening. It involves turning and breaking up the soil in order to create a suitable environment for the growth of plants. Tilling typically involves the use of tools such as a plow, tiller, or cultivator.
The purpose of tilling is to loosen the soil, remove weeds, and improve its structure. When the soil is tilled, it becomes more aerated, allowing for better drainage and root penetration. The process also helps to break up compacted soil, providing plants with easier access to nutrients and water.
Tilling can be carried out using different methods, depending on the area and the specific needs of the soil. Conventional tilling involves turning over the entire soil surface, while minimum tillage techniques involve disturbing as little soil as possible. No-till farming is a method that eliminates tilling altogether, relying on natural processes and organic matter to maintain soil health.
Tilling is an essential step in preparing the soil for successful cultivation, as it helps to create optimum conditions for plant growth. However, excessive or improper tilling can have negative consequences, such as erosion, loss of soil structure, and disruption of beneficial soil organisms. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific needs of the soil and to practice sustainable tilling techniques to maintain soil health and productivity.

Etymology of TILLING
The word "tilling" has its roots in the Old English term "tilian". It originated from the Proto-Germanic word "tilojaną", which means "to aim, strive for". This term evolved into "tilian" in Old English, which meant "to strive, tend, cultivate". Over time, the word "tilian" transformed into "tillen" and later "till" in Middle English. Eventually, the modern form "tilling" emerged, referring to the act of preparing land for planting and cultivation.
