Tillage was for most of recorded agriculture history, a concept of achieving a finely divided soil by fragmenting clods using cultivation tools. The plough was key from historic times. Ploughing improves the moisture content of the field and as well as the field needs a perfect levelling to avoid the uneven distribution of moisture content in the same field; as in the same field observed with a moisture content of 4.8% to 20.1%. Observation showed that ploughing has increased the moisture retention capacity. Ploughed field without slope has recorded a moisture percentage of 15% and almost the same as in the castor field. Summer ploughed fields with weeds has recorded an average moisture percentage of 12.5%. This showed that current ploughed field without weeds has the advantage in retaining good moisture content over summer ploughed fields with weeds. Pastures with a textural class of red sandy soil has recorded a moisture percentage of 8.3% which is also good and was 7% lesser moisture percentage.
