Solution

Tilling is the process of loosening and turning of the soil. It makes soil porous that allows air to enter inside spaces or pores present between soil particles and thus increase its aeration.

It also increases the water absorption property of soil. This absorbed water remains in the soil for longer period and does not evaporate easily and thus increases its water holding capacity.
