Preliminary note The aim of the investigation was to compare and unveil efficiency of electro-hydraulic control (EHR) system to mechanical three point hitch regulation in mouldboard ploughing. Increase of working velocity and three point hitch automatic regulation activity decreased depth of ploughing at both regulation systems but electro-hydraulic system done it more accurately since deviatio...

A practical model of the soil structure dynamics in ploughed ®elds can be a powerful aid to farmers attempting to optimise their management practices. This paper describes a compartmental model that simulates the changes over several years in an indicator of the effects of cropping systems on soil structure. This indicator, the proportion of severely compacted clods in the ploughed layer, was m...

The diffusion of no-tillage (NT) is to be encouraged because the benefits it can provide in terms improving soil fertility and counteracting global warming climate change as part climate-smart agriculture practices. However, introduction this management difficult, especially first years application, lead unpredictable yield results depending on type. Therefore, aim experiment was evaluate early...

The non-turning or only superficial turning of soil is considered to be a gentle tillage method. Nevertheless, conventional ploughs are widely used in organic farming for crop production reasons. For the further development reduced tillage, and up no effects three cover species their incorporation with different intensities on nitrogen (N) dynamics, weed emergence yield subsequent main crop, oa...

Due to their (a) lower draught force requirements and (b) ability work at deeper operation depths faster speeds, disc ploughs have gained interest in Australia. A modified version of the plough that involves removing every second fitting larger often more concave discs has become popular. However, development one-way is its infancy, a detailed analysis required, particularly on soil movement. H...

The effect of soil tillage operation on biological properties has not been extensively studied in Hungary. We investigated some enzymatic activities (dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, and phosphatase) a Luvisol, treated by different tillage, management intensities, i.e., conservation (CT), fully conventional with mouldboard ploughing every year (PT), moderately shallow deep ripping intermittently t...

Abstract Ground beetles (carabids) constitute an important functional component of biodiversity in agroecosystems, mainly because their role as predators pests, but also consumers weed seeds and prey to other organisms. Over the past few decades, there has been a marked continuous decline ground Europe, many species this insect family are threatened by intensive agricultural practices. The effe...

Studies, were conducted in a stationary experiment between 1988 and 2018 on dark gray forest heavy loam soil Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture for Northern Trans-Ural Region - Branch Federal State Institutions Centre Tyumen Siberian the Russian Academy Sciences. The aim study is to determine effect long-term (30 years) impact different systems basic cultivation soils grain crops humu...
