Applying ploughs for determining the optimal depth of soil cultivation: the development of the scientific views

Keywords: ploughing, furrow, applying plough, flat tillage, inversion tillage, non-inversion tillage, mineralisation.

Abstract

The presented article examines the historical process of using deep and shallow ploughing of the fertile soil. Therefore, the most optimal option for achieving the highest possible productivity is considered, for example, multi-depth tillage of the soil, when deep, medium, shallow and surface inversion and non-inversion tillages alternate in crop rotations. In particular, when ploughing to the depth of 30 cm, the level of available moisture remains the highest during chiselling, and in conditions of deep ploughing (from 30 to 75 cm), the level of available moisture falls for any type of tillage. As a result of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that when choosing the depth of tillage, it is necessary to take into account the information on the crops to be grown and, first of all, the condition of the root layer of the specific field. Thus, in the course of the full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine and the possible food crisis in some countries of the world caused by this armed conflict, the conducted research cannot be seen as comprehensive and thorough and has further prospects.
