Ry. Ramazanov et Fk. Khaziyev, INFLUENCE OF TILLAGE AND FERTILIZERS ON AGROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF TYPIC CHERNOZEM OF THE CIS-URALS, Eurasian soil science, 27(8), 1995, pp. 84-97
This paper outlines the results of long-term (1985-1991) field and lab
oratory studies of the influence of different tillage systems on the h
ydrophysical properties and water regime of Typic Chernozem and the yi
eld of agricultural crops under conditions of the steppe zone of Bashk
ortostan. The favorable structural state, high water resistance, and o
ptimal consistency of the investigated Typic Chernozems, conditioned b
y their genesis and high natural fertility, are preserved relatively s
tably by the agrotechnical practices utilized. Soil-conservation tilla
ge systems (combined, no-till) and the organic and mineral fertilizers
used help prevent erosion.
