“…Different methods of soil cultivation are an important factor in regulating its physical parameters. In the study by M. Jat et al (2023), minimising tillage led to a degradation of the exchange density index. The volumetric density of the soil in the system of minimised tillage is particularly high with little or no plant residues.…”

“…Conservation tillage practices, such as no-till (NT) or reduced tillage, are widely used to mitigate the negative impacts caused by intensive tillage methods. One of the key principles of these technologies is the presence of permanent organic mulch on the field (crop residues, cover crops) aimed at optimising soil health (Jat et al, 2023). The results of a study in conservation agriculture showed that plant residues stored on the soil surface have a greater impact on soil aggregation and organic matter retention (Mondal et al, 2021).…”

In Indonesia, the agriculture industry has been more reluctant than other sectors to adopt IoT, IT, and AI technology. Utilizing this technology will enable precision agriculture. This research aims to make and implement an IoT-Webserver-Android and Machine Learning-based soil PH factor monitoring tool system. The steps for making the tool system are divided into three subsystems. The first is a multiple sensors data acquisition subsystem, consisting of sensors for soil PH-Moisture, Temperature-Humidity, and Sunlight. The sensors are connected to the Arduino Uno microcontroller for serial communication with the ESP 8266 microcontroller for the Wi-Fi module. The second part is the monitoring subsystem with the local web application, which contains a MySQL database and a local web page. The third part is the monitoring subsystem with the Android application, which includes a real-time Firebase database and the application for real-time and mobile data display. The results have been implemented and display the expected outcomes. It is clear from the performance of the three subsystems. The outcomes of the tool system's data evaluation provide precise statistical values. Then, Machine Learning analysis generates accurate soil PH prediction models. It has been demonstrated that the monitoring system is applicable and has a favorable impact on data soil PH factor. The implication for the future is that this monitoring system should be added with Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium sensors to measure soil nutrients. Also, the system added edge-analysis to be integrated in monitoring and analyzing soil nutrients.

The absence of a clear position on the application of a particular method of basic tillage and the use of post-harvest residues in crop rotation draws attention to the minimisation of tillage. Therefore, the need to substantiate and develop efficient energy-saving tillage technologies and the use of by-products in crop rotation is quite important and remains relevant. The aim of the research is to study the impact of by-products and soil cultivation, which will create optimal conditions for the development of winter rape in the Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research was carried out during 3 rotations of 4 crop rotation in a stationary field experiment of the Institute of Agriculture of Western Polissya of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences in 2009-2020. Against the background of soil cultivation, including ploughing, disc cultivation to a depth of 10-12 and 6-8 cm, two methods of using crop residues of crop rotation were studied - diversion and use as fertiliser with the addition of compensatory nitrogen in the amount of N10 per 1 tonne. The results showed that when growing winter rape with the removal of the predecessor straw from the field during ploughing to a depth of 20-22 cm and disc cultivation to a depth of 10-12 and 6-8 cm, the soil density at a depth of 0-10 cm was 1.22-1.28, 1.23-1.28 and 1.23-1.35 g/cm³, respectively, and at a depth of 10-20 cm – 1.26-1.30, 1.30-1.35 and 1.32-1.36 g/cm³. The use of straw as an organic fertiliser led to a decrease in the bulk mass of all the studied soil layers under any method of treatment, but at the same time contributed to an increase in the number of weeds, which increased with a decrease in the depth of treatment. On average, over the three years of crop rotation, the seed yields for ploughing by 20-22 cm, disking by 10-12 cm and disking by 6-8 cm against the background of straw alienation were 2.91, 2.83 and 2.59 t/ha, respectively, and for incorporating it into the soil – 3.04, 2.88 and 2.72 t/ha. As noted in the studies, tillage and fertilisation using non-commodity crop residues increase the soil protection effect, significantly reduce the negative impact of weeds in crops, improve soil fertility and increase the productivity of crops in the rotation
