Tillistä

Tillistä is a Finnish word that translates to "to till" in English. It refers to the action of cultivating or working the soil, typically using a tilling implement such as a plow or a cultivator. The process involves breaking up and mixing the soil to prepare it for planting. Tillistä is an essential agricultural practice that improves soil structure, aeration, and nutrient distribution, thereby enhancing plant growth and crop yield. It also helps in controlling weeds and pests by incorporating organic matter into the soil. The frequency and depth of tilling can vary depending on the type of crop, soil conditions, and local agricultural practices. In modern agriculture, tilling is often supplemented or replaced by no-till farming, which aims to minimize soil disturbance to preserve soil health and reduce environmental impact.
