Babatunde Fikayo*

Tillage erosion is a type of soil erosion happening in cultivated fields because of the movement of soil by tillage. There is developing proof that tillage erosion is a significant soil disintegration measure in agricultural grounds, outperforming water and wind disintegration in numerous fields from one side of the planet to the other, particularly on slanting and bumpy terrains. A mark spatial example of soil disintegration displayed in water erosion handbooks and pamphlets, the eroded hilltops, is really brought about by tillage erosion as water erosion predominantly causes soil losses in the midslope and lowerslope portions of a slant, not the hilltops. Tillage erosion brings about soil debasement, which can prompt huge decrease in crop yield and, consequently, financial misfortunes for the homestead.
