 Archaeologist discovered wooden plows which were used

Objective:

 Provide a suitable environment for seed germination and

crop growth

 Support root growth and soil aeration

Type of tillage

 primary tillage vs. secondary tillage:

Primary tillage:
- Deeper and more thorough
- Tend to produce a rough surface finish

Secondary tillage:
- Shallower and sometimes more selective of location
- Tend to produce a smoother surface finish

 Other classification of tillage system

 Intensive tillage (* less than 15%)

 Reduced tillage (* 15-30%)

 Conservation tillage (* at least 30%)

* number of crop residue leaved

on the soil surface

6
Conservation tillage:

 No-tillage

 Strip-tillage

 Mulch-tillage

 Rotational-tillage

 Ridge-tillage

 Zone-tillage
