Ways to improve the reproduction of fertility of southern chernozems

Abstract

The analysis of the main historical stages of the development of the theory of minimization of tillage, as well as data obtained during long-term stationary studies, is made. Over the long-term period, the use of non-dump resource-saving tillage in crop rotation was not inferior in efficiency, and in some indicators even exceeded the combined multi-depth tillage (including dump loosening of the soil). The data on the positive effect of the combination of the no-till system and the cultivation of groundcover crops in the crop rotation on the soil fertility with signs of its extended reproduction are presented.
