Abstract

The effectiveness of resource-saving methods of tilling soil planted to spring wheat compared with conventional plowing is shown on the basis of long-term investigations on chernozem soils of the forest steppe in the Middle Volga Region. In this case, productive moisture storage increases 8–10%, the intensity of soil structure formation and water stability of the soil structure improve 1.9–2.4%, a 0.12–0.15 t/ha yield gain is achieved, and direct production costs are saved.
