INVESTIGATIONS OF SOIL TILLAGE TECHNOLOGIES IN SUGAR BEET PRODUCTION

Nowadays both climate extremes and economic difficulties call attention to use sugar beet tillage systems that may establish production more successfully. The importance of mulch leaving tillage rises Lip by emphasizing soil moisture-, organic matter-, and soil surface protection. The damages caused by tillage can be eliminated using ploughless or improved ploughing systems. Furthermore, water-, air-, nutrient-, and heat management of soil are improved. We found, that soil aggregation increases and microbial activity is promoted in soils under mulch leaving tillage systems. In this way better growing conditions can be established. and simultaneously climate damages might be mitigated,
