Alfalfa

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae.

See Tilth and Alfalfa

Barley

Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally.

See Tilth and Barley

Cover crop

In agriculture, cover crops are plants that are planted to cover the soil rather than for the purpose of being harvested.

See Tilth and Cover crop

Crop rotation

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons.

See Tilth and Crop rotation

Earthworm

An earthworm is a soil-dwelling terrestrial invertebrate that belongs to the phylum Annelida. Tilth and earthworm are soil biology.

See Tilth and Earthworm

Effective microorganism

Effective microorganisms (EM) are various blends of common predominantly anaerobic microorganisms in a carbohydrate-rich liquid carrier substrate (molasses nutrient solution) of EM Research Organization, Inc.Effective Microorganisms EM and EM・1 are the trademarks of Em Research Organization, Inc., Uruma City, Okinawa, Japan.

See Tilth and Effective microorganism

Friability

In materials science, friability, the condition of being friable, describes the tendency of a solid substance to break into smaller pieces under stress or contact, especially by rubbing.

See Tilth and Friability

In agriculture, a harrow is a farm implement used for surface tillage.

See Tilth and Harrow (tool)

Korean natural farming

Korean natural farming (KNF) is an organic agricultural method that takes advantage of indigenous microorganisms (IMO) (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa) to produce rich soil that yields high output without the use of herbicides or pesticides.

See Tilth and Korean natural farming

Mycorrhiza

A mycorrhiza (mycorrhiza, or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. Tilth and mycorrhiza are soil biology.

See Tilth and Mycorrhiza

Natural farming

Natural farming (自然農法, shizen nōhō),1975 1978 re-presentation The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming.

See Tilth and Natural farming

No-till farming

No-till farming (also known as zero tillage or direct drilling) is an agricultural technique for growing crops or pasture without disturbing the soil through tillage.

See Tilth and No-till farming

Oat

The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural).

See Tilth and Oat

Organic matter

Organic matter, organic material, or natural organic matter refers to the large source of carbon-based compounds found within natural and engineered, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

See Tilth and Organic matter

Pea

Pea (pisum in Latin) is a pulse, vegetable or fodder crop, but the word often refers to the seed or sometimes the pod of this flowering plant species.

See Tilth and Pea

Permaculture

Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems.

See Tilth and Permaculture

Polygonaceae

The Polygonaceae are a family of flowering plants known informally as the knotweed family or smartweed—buckwheat family in the United States.

See Tilth and Polygonaceae

Rye

Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop.

See Tilth and Rye

Soil aggregate stability

Soil aggregate stability is a measure of the ability of soil aggregates—soil particles that bind together—to resist breaking apart when exposed to external forces such as water erosion and wind erosion, shrinking and swelling processes, and tillage. Tilth and soil aggregate stability are soil science.

See Tilth and Soil aggregate stability

Soil biology

Soil biology is the study of microbial and faunal activity and ecology in soil. Tilth and soil biology are soil science.

See Tilth and Soil biology

Soil carbon sponge

Soil carbon sponge (or soil sponge) is porous, well-aggregated soil in good health, better able to absorb and retain water. Tilth and soil carbon sponge are soil science.

See Tilth and Soil carbon sponge

Soil compaction

In geotechnical engineering, soil compaction is the process in which stress applied to a soil causes densification as air is displaced from the pores between the soil grains. Tilth and soil compaction are soil science.

See Tilth and Soil compaction

Soil conditioner

A soil conditioner is a product which is added to soil to improve the soil’s physical qualities, usually its fertility (ability to provide nutrition for plants) and sometimes its mechanics. Tilth and soil conditioner are soil improvers.

See Tilth and Soil conditioner

Soil management

Soil management is the application of operations, practices, and treatments to protect soil and enhance its performance (such as soil fertility or soil mechanics). Tilth and soil management are soil science.

See Tilth and Soil management

Tillage

Tillage is the agricultural preparation of soil by mechanical agitation of various types, such as digging, stirring, and overturning.

See Tilth and Tillage

Trifolium pratense

Trifolium pratense (from Latin prātum, meaning meadow), red clover, is a herbaceous species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae, native to Europe, Western Asia, and northwest Africa, but planted and naturalized in many other regions.

See Tilth and Trifolium pratense

Wheat

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain that is a staple food around the world.

See Tilth and Wheat

Winter wheat

Winter wheat (usually Triticum aestivum) are strains of wheat that are planted in the autumn to germinate and develop into young plants that remain in the vegetative phase during the winter and resume growth in early spring.

See Tilth and Winter wheat
