Ridge cultivation (or ridge tillage) is a soil management strategy intended to influence crop performance by affecting microclimate, soil structure, and root zone conditions. By altering the spatial arrangement of the soil profile, this technique can enhance water infiltration, aeration, and root development, while also contributing to improved weed and pest management. This document provides an overview of the principles, benefits, and implementation strategies of ridge cultivation.
