Rachel Fell May 13, 2013:
In general, I'd say that ploughing comes first, then tilling/tillage is done subsequently, breaking up the soil more finely.

Moreover, the difference or better the translation required in my view, is the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilling
Tilling can mean:
• Tillage (dissodamento) an agricultural preparation of the soil.
to plow/plough = arare
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plough
The plough (BrE) or plow (AmE; see spelling differences; pron.: /ˈplaʊ/) is a tool (or machine) used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. It has been a basic instrument for most of recorded history, and represents one of the major advances in agriculture.
The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds, the remains of previous crops, and both crop and weed seeds, allowing them to break down.
and I do agree with Rachel
