| | English translation:tillering | Explanation:
This has nothing to do (directly) with tilling of soil or songs by Cat Stevens.
Tillering is a means by which certain plants develop and reproduce.
Une tonte régulière favorise le TALLAGE, c'est-à-dire le DÉVELOPPEMENT EN ÉPAISSEUR DE CHAQUE TOUFFE DE GRAMINÉE. la pelouse est plus fournie.

A grass plant is a collection of plant parts, like a tree or shrub, made up of GROWTH UNITS called TILLERS. Each tiller produces roots and leaves. VEGETATIVE TILLERS consist primarily of leaves (Figure 1), whereas REPRODUCTIVE TILLERS produce a stem, seedhead, roots and leaves (Figure 2). The basal area of the stem, where roots often arise, is the crown.
The crown usually has a number of buds (growing points) that produce NEW TILLERS and roots. NEW TILLERS are anatomically and physiologically CONNECTED TO OLDER TILLERS. Therefore, SEVERAL CONNECTED TILLERS MAY ALL LIVE AND SHARE water, carbohydrates and nutrients. If one tiller dies, an adjacent tiller with established roots and leaves usually lives.
Some tillers stay vegetative, while others become reproductive and produce seedheads. Whether a tiller becomes reproductive depends on environment and hormones produced in the plant.
For example, a reproductive tiller may remain vegetative if the growing point (terminal meristem) is removed by grazing. Vegetative growth, therefore, is favored by some grazing, which reduces the number of seedheads produced and may stimulate the formation of new tillers. Vegetative tillers usually are less stemmy and more nutritious than reproductive tillers.
Seed production may be valuable, however, if the operator wishes to harvest a seed crop or if there is a need for seed to produce new seedlings in the stand. Seed production is not always essential for stand maintenance, as many grasses reproduce by vegetative means such as TILLERING or production of new stems from underground rhizomes.
