Crop Residue Management by Different Soil Tillage

Conservation tillage technologies where ploughing by a moldboard plough is replaced by tillers and shallow soil loosening in increasingly used as a soil treatment. It is typical for shallow soil tillage that all plant residues are left on the soil surface, or in the treated (tilled) upper soil layer. The plant residues can play very important role by next plant cultivation. In the experimental section was described the aim of research which is possible to summarize briefly as follows - the evaluation of soil physical properties on tillers work quality, evaluation of sweep tillers and disc tillers work quality by stubble ploughing. In the methodology part of the thesis are the measurements techniques explained. The results of this work are important because conservation (minimal) soil tillage technologies play an important role in plant production around the world. Especially conservation tillage systems with their modification are increasingly being introduced under an economic pressure on the field of the Czech Republic.
