Primary tillage is the foundation of the agrotechnological process, determining the water-air regime and the structure of the arable layer. The choice of soil preparation system affects not only the preservation of soil fertility but also the yield potential of crops. Properly executed agrotechnical practices create optimal conditions for the development of plant root systems, which is critical both in industrial farming and intensive horticulture.
This selection brings together materials dedicated to modern approaches to soil management. Readers will find information here on the specificities of using ploughs and the effectiveness of no-till methods, as well as the specifics of preparing arable land for spring, stubble, and catch crops, taking regional conditions into account. Furthermore, the articles cover the principles of managing nutrients for vegetable crops, forage crops, and winter wheat. This knowledge will help to optimize technological processes, balance fertilizer application, and ensure a high-quality start for sowing in various soil-climatic zones.
