Results of research on the temperature changes in sod-podzolic soils w
ith minimal tillage are considered. Difference in soil temperature has
been revealed for several kinds of soil tillage: plowing to 20-25 cm,
disking to 8-10 cm, zero tillage. Substitution of plowing by zero til
lage causes the degree of temperature in the arable layer due to diffe
rent conditions of heat accumulation and transfer in soil.
