Mullatöötlust

Mullatöötlust refers to the processes involved in preparing soil for agricultural or horticultural purposes. This typically includes actions that alter the physical structure of the soil to improve its suitability for plant growth. Common mullatöötlust practices involve loosening the soil, which can be achieved through plowing, tilling, or digging. Loosening the soil helps to break up compacted layers, allowing for better root penetration and aeration.

Another key aspect of mullatöötlust is the incorporation of organic matter and amendments. Adding compost, manure, or other organic materials improves soil fertility, water retention, and overall soil health. Amendments like lime or sulfur might be used to adjust soil pH, creating an optimal environment for specific crops. The goal is to create a soil structure that balances water drainage and retention, provides adequate air supply to roots, and contains the necessary nutrients for healthy plant development. The specific techniques and intensity of mullatöötlust can vary greatly depending on the soil type, the intended use of the land, and the climate conditions. Modern practices often aim for conservation tillage methods to minimize soil disturbance and erosion.
