Economic effectiveness of combined tillage together with decompacting subsurface horizon

Abstract

The causes of overcompacting soil and negative influence on growth of cereal and tilled crops are stated, the influence of decompacting subsurface horizon on yielding capacity is shown, the machinery for decompacting overcompacted horizon and performance data of it are presented, the production data on yielding capacity and economic effectiveness as a result of decompacting subsurface horizon by means of provision of general-purpose plows with accessory working equipment (plow sole ripper) are presented.
