“…On moderately moist soils, such conditions are created by conventional tillage, while on dry and semi-arid soils, better results are obtained by no-tillage [18,19,22,27,38,39]. Moreover, the no-tillage system brings economic benefits, significantly reducing fuel consumption and labor consumption [40]. Nevertheless, opinions on no-tillage systems are divided.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the yield and quality of winter wheat grain and soil properties in three tillage systems (TS): (1) Conventional (CT), (2) reduced (RT), and (3) no-tillage (NT). In the CT system, shallow ploughing (at a depth of 10–12 cm from soil surface) and pre-sow ploughing (at a depth of 18–22 cm from soil surface) were performed after the harvest of the previous crop (peas). In the RT system, the shallow ploughing was replaced by field cultivation, whereas pre-sow ploughing was by a tillage unit. In the NT system, a herbicide treatment with glyphosate (4 L ha−1) replaced the ploughing measures, whereas a tillage unit including a cultivator, a string roller, and a harrow was used before wheat sowing. Higher wheat yields were recorded in CT than in NT (by 4.3%) and in 2016 compared to 2015 (by 23.4%). The tillage system differentiated spike number m−2, whereas study years affected spike number m−2, grain weight per spike, and 1000 grain weight. Study years also influenced all quality traits of the grain, whereas tillage systems—only grain uniformity and ash content of the grain. A less uniform grain with a higher ash content was produced in NT than in CT and RT systems. Organic C content in the soil was higher in NT than in CT and RT systems. In turn, total nitrogen and phosphorus contents were higher in the soil from NT and RT than CT, whereas potassium and magnesium contents—in RT and NT compared to the CT system.

“…The commonly applied system of crop rotation one after another for a few years has negative effects on both crop production, economy, and habitats (Haliniarz et al 2018). These negative outcomes include mainly low grain yields and moderate grain quality (Rachon et al 2015;Woźniak and Makarski 2013).…”

“…Contemporary agricultural systems usually tend to minimize expenditures incurred on tillage and make use of specialist crop rotations including 2-3 plant species requiring the same or similar cultivation technology (Soane et al 2012;Roche et al 2017). Sometimes, however, such solutions fail, which leads to crop productivity decrease (Haliniarz et al 2018). Frequent cultivation of cereals one after another causes an increasing number of agrophages (weeds, pests, and fungal pathogens), which results in the necessity of using high amounts of pesticides and this, in turn, generates a significant increase in production costs (Bai and Shaner 2004;Mal et al 2015;Mehmeti et al 2018).…”

An exact experiment, established in a system of randomized blocks, was aimed at determining the effect of crop rotation and 29-year cereal monoculture on the yield and quality of winter wheat grain as well as on straw yield, crop infestation with weeds, contents of organic C and total N in the soil, and the number of earthworms in the soil. Winter wheat was sown in two systems of crop succession: (1) in crop rotation (CR), and (2) in a cereal monoculture (CM). Winter wheat cultivation in the CM system resulted in a decrease of grain yield by 32%, compared to the CR system. Its grain yield reduction in the CM system was due to a lower number of spikes m −2 , lower 1000 grain weight, shorter spikes, and lower grain weight per spike, than in the CR system. Wheat grain from the CM system was characterized by a lower content of wet gluten, lesser grain uniformity and grain volume weight, and contained more total ash than the grain from the CR system. The number and air-dry weight of weeds were higher in the CM than in the CR system by 57.1% and 75%, respectively. Differences were also demonstrated in the species composition of weeds. The soil samples collected from the CM plot contained less organic C and total N than the samples derived from the CR system. Soil samples from the CM system had also a lower number of earthworms compared to the CR soil samples.

“…A result may be a decreased grain yield, and further, deteriorated technological quality of grain mainly a reduction in grain weight per volume, a high share of small and poorly filled grains, low grain plumpness and uniformity and a higher content of ash in grain [3,17]. These changes are only partly prevented by a high dosage of fertilizers and an increased number of plant protection procedures, which, in a longterm perspective, leads to an increase in the costs of production [2][3][4][5][6].…”

IntroductionReduced tillage and no-tillage systems are a domain of present-day agriculture [1][2][3]. This is due to production and economic respects, while the grain yield obtained from such systems is only slightly lower than that obtained from cost-consuming conventional tillage [4][5][6][7]. Hernanz et al. [8] demonstrated that the energy efficiency of wheat cultivation is higher under no-tillage than under reduced and conventional tillage systems. Unfortunately, such solutions also have many drawbacks. These include: larger weed cover and compensation of a few species of weeds, and, as a
