THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT LAND CULTIVATIONS ON WATER RESERVOIRS.

Abstract

This research examines the effects of tillage intensity and straw incorporation on soil water content. The research was conducted in a long-term stationary field experiment, which is located at the Experimental Station of the VDU Agricultural Academy. The research was continued, presented in this scientific work in 2021. test results. The aim of the study is to determine and compare the influence of different tillage and direct sowing on soil water content and density in barley crops. The crop is spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The impact of straw had the benefit of reducing soil density compared to where straw was removed, but catch crop fields and direct seeding resulted in higher soil density due to the immobilized topsoil. At pressures from -100 to -15500 hPa, fields with chopped and dispersed straw tended to retain soil moisture better. Compared to deep tillage, direct seeding and catch cropping tended to conserve more moisture at -15500 hPa pressure.
