Soil alteration techniques popularly known as “Tillage” responsible for clean growing medium, eliminate unwanted plants, and reduce leaching and percolation losses to increase crop yields– long-term effects on soil characteristics, structure, and ultimately the ecosystem have been seen. Greenhouse gases are a problem because of agriculture. Zero tillage (ZT) is defined as a climate change-friendly practice through the processes of mitigation and response. However, ZT efficiency is still uncertain at first because of the increased weed growth. Numerous researchers have documented ZT's varying impacts on soil health, property values, and ecosystems. However, its widespread uptake remains questionable because farmers are reluctant to abandon the established local varieties. The soil properties and agricultural yield were affected differently by conventional (CT), minimum (MT), and zero (ZT) tillage. Because of the importance of preserving the soil's physical properties for plant development, the selection of a tillage system is paramount. Soil texture, climate, site features, adoption time, rainfall fluctuations throughout the year, and the soil's natural fertility all play a role in how various tillage methods affect soil properties. To this day, farmers and experts alike lack clear information about how various tillage methods affect soil quality, crop yields, and environmental impact. Furthermore, their long-term impacts have received little attention up to this point. Taking all of this into account, this review was written with the goal of developing the ideal tillage system, which would contribute to environmentally responsible and climate-aware farming practices. Finally, we determined that, across a variety of agroclimatic conditions, minimum tillage performed better than conventional and zero tillage methods in enhancing the different soil properties in a climate-smart and sustainable way.
