Solution

Tilling or ploughing is the process of preparing the soil for the cultivation of seeds by digging, ploughing and overturning the soil. It ensures proper mixing of the nutrients and uproots the weeds growing beforehand. Cultivators are the machines used for this process. Cultivators are preferred for large areas of cultivable land.
