Abstract:
The strip-till technology combines the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages of the traditional and no-till soil cultivation. This technology aims at cultivating soil stripes which are 20-25 cm wide and 20-30 cm deep, with simultaneous fertilizer application at various depths. So, 2/3 of the field remain uncultivated, and the fertilizers, applied in a strip, are concentrated in the position for root system development. This technology provides rational use of the fields. However, the technology has some disadvantages, mainly it its complexity. The strip-till technology can be effective only if powerful tractors and special units are used. It presupposes additional expenses and investments.
