Title: Soil and crop responses to soil tillage systems: a Polish perspective
Abstract: An analysis of the literature of the subject shows that soil tillage only has a short-term direct influence on soil properties and it exerts its influence on cropping, first of all indirectly, through its effects on yield forming factors. Consequently, on well cultivated soils in flat areas and in the conditions of rational crop rotation, fertilisation and plant protection, it is possible to simplify tillage significantly without adverse economical or ecological results. The limitation of tillage, up to direct sowing, will be indispensable in erosion areas. However, the presence of defective soils and some meteorological conditions require conventional plough tillage.
