“…Similar data were obtained by foreign researchers [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These works establish the work tool parameters to provide better soil pulverization at minimal draught resistance of the work tools [11]; they also study energy consumption by different crop production technologies and method for tractor draught class selection according to the tillage technology [12], develop an approach to justification of the design of tillage machines to provide their reliability [13], study the effect of work tool type, tillage depth and velocity on productivity of tillage machines on clay soils and necessitate their alignment [14], investigate the impact of tillage depth and velocity on draught resistance when working with different types of work tools [15,16].…”

Annotation-The crop capacity in different soil and climatic zones depends on implemented technologies of tillage and sowing, crop rotation and type of work tools of the machinery complex. In every zone, main and additional tilling should be made with different work tool types and to different depth corresponding to the zone conditions. The tillage should also provide conditions for plant growth and development, as well as accumulation and rational usage of accumulated moisture during the whole vegetation period. The work demonstrates that tillage by foreign machinery not tailored to Russian conditions as compared to locally produced machines withers the soil away, reduces crop capacity and increases the base costs. In this connection, the team of researchers has elaborated a universal technology for soil treatment and types of work tools for machines to put it into life. Having said that, the type and dimensions of farms dictates the degree of universalization of newly created machines, so they should have replaceable working elements or interchangeable modules. The methods for determining the metal consumption for machines of different type, their draught resistance and performance of equipment were developed; the calculations are also presented. The study yields dependencies that allow establishing adequate velocities of equipment and operating width of tilling and sowing machines that ensure maximum performance of equipment with tractors having different draught class. The parameters of machines are used by the engineers of LLC Chelyabinsk Compressor Plant, LLC Varnaagromash and Yaroslavovich Production Company for designing and putting into production a complex of tillage and sowing machinery for tractors of draught class 1,4; 3; 5 and 6-7. The developed complex of machines performs all components of tillage technologies for specific working conditions and corresponds to functional specifications of agricultural machinery, environment protection, ergonomics and energy saving. Thus, the developed import-substitution technology and complex of machines enable increased crop capacity and reduced base cost of cultivated crops, which is the basis for liquidation of food dependence of Russia.

“…We found that, by shifting all the conventional tillage area to conservation tillage, a SOC accumulation potential of between 8.7 and 13.2 Tg C yr −1 can be achieved for the 1998-2016 period (the range indicating an estimated spread between the spring-till only scenario and that in which both spring and fall tillage occur; difference between experiments S1 and S5 in table 2). Besides, conservation till also reduces fuel consumption and maintains or even enhances crop yield (Busari et al 2015, Farooq et al 2011, Mileusnić et al 2009. For environmental benefit, we expect expansion of no-till and conservation tillage will be the dominant trend in US cropland.…”

Tillage alters the thermal and wetness conditions in soil, which facilitates soil organic matter oxidation and water transportation, leading to rapid depletion of soil carbon (C). Little is known about tillage intensity change (TIC) and its impacts in the US corn-soybean rotation system over the past two decades. Using time-series tillage maps developed from a private survey and a process-based land ecosystem model, here we examined how tillage intensity has changed across the nation and affected soil organic carbon (SOC) storage from 1998 to 2016. Results derived from the combination of tillage survey data and cropland distribution maps show that total corn-soybean area consistently increased from 62.3 Mha in 1998 to 66.8 Mha in 2008 and to 73.
