The process of loosening and turning of the soil is called tilling or ploughing. This is done by using a plough. Ploughs are made of wood or iron. Following are the advantages of ploughing or tilling:
  • Ploughing loosens the soil and makes it aerated.
  • It helps in mixing organic matter with the soil uniformly.
  • It initiates the growth of natural agents and microorganisms and thus, keeps the soil fertile.
  • It increases the water holding capacity of soil.
  • It helps in easy penetration of root into the soil.
