“…The T found in this study was lower than those recorded in research studies with moldboard tillage, a chisel and a tandem disc [20,[43][44][45]. Our results were in the same magnitude with those obtained by Kouselou et al [46] under reduced and minimum tillage in dryland agriculture. There are no studies on the effect of tillage erosion in an orchard system, but these first results show that greater attention should be paid to this situation.…”

Soil erosion has been considered a threat for semi-arid lands due to the removal of solid materials by water and wind. Although water erosion is currently considered the most important process of soil degradation, a growing interest has been drawn to the impact of soil tillage. Although numerous studies on tillage erosion have been carried out on arable land using a moldboard plow, a chisel, and a tandem disc for different crops, there are no studies on the effect of shallow tillage on soil redistribution in vineyards. The aim of this work was to evaluate the soil tillage erosion rate in a vineyard using a 13C natural abundance tracer. A strip of soil (C3-C soil) was removed, mixed with C4-C tracer, and replaced. After the installation of the strip, tillage (upslope in one inter-row and downslope in the other inter-row) was performed with a cultivator and soil was collected along the slope with an interval of 0.2 m from the C4-C strip. Soil organic carbon and δ13C were measured and the total mass of translocated soil (T) soil was calculated. The net effect of tillage after two consecutive operations (downslope and upslope tillage) was a T of 49.3 ± 4.2 kg m−1. The estimated annual erosion rate due to tillage in the studied vineyard was 9.5 ± 1.2 Mg ha−1year−1. The contribution of the soil tillage erosion rate was compared with that of water erosion in the same vineyard, and we conclude that tillage is a threat to soil degradation.

“…However, the disadvantages of the long-term use of a single tillage pattern have gradually emerged [15,49] ; for example, no-tillage in successive years causes the plough layer to become shallow, which restricts the penetration of the root system [50] . Mechanical tillage in successive years causes destruction of the soil aggregate structure, which leads to wind erosion [51] . Therefore, through the reasonable allocation of soil tillage methods, including ploughing, rotating, and no-tillage, a scientific rotation pattern is expected to overcome the disadvantages of a long-term single tillage system.…”

“…Water, fertilizer, air, heat, and microbes are the main determinants of the soil ecological environment [1,2] , all of which will significantly affect the root function, the quality, and the yield of crops [3,4] . Tillage changes soil properties, including soil porosity, aggregate structure, particle-water-air ratio, and soil water-heat characteristics, It is an important way to regulate soil ecological environment [5] .…”

Winter wheat and summer maize were planted from 2015-2017 to study the effects of different rotational tillage patterns on soil physicochemical properties, crop yield, water content, and fertilizer utilization. The tillage treatments were designed as wheat subsoiling-maize no tillage (WS-MN), wheat rotary tillage-maize subsoiling (WR-MS), wheat subsoiling-maize subsoiling (WS-MS), and conventional wheat rotary tillage-maize no tillage (WR-MN) as a control. Among the four treatments, WS-MN and WR-MS were single-season subsoiling treatments, and WS-MS was a two-season subsoiling treatment. The average soil bulk density decreased by 7.6% in the single-and double-season subsoiling groups compared to the WR-MN group, and the total porosity and noncapillary porosity increased by 10.7% and 12.2%, respectively. Single-or double-season subsoiling treatment was not conducive to water storage in the 0-20 cm soil layer but increased the water content of the 20-140 cm soil layer, and the average soil water content of the 0-140 cm layer was increased by 11.6% in the two-growing season treatment groups compared with the WR-MN group. In WS-MS and WS-MN groups compared with the WR-MN group, the soil ammonium nitrogen content was increased by an average of 18.6% in 0-20 cm soil and 16.8% in 20-100 cm soil; soil nitrate-nitrogen content was decreased by 13.5% in 0-100 cm soil; total organic carbon and microbial carbon contents in the 15-30 cm soil were increased by 18.1% and 12.7%, respectively; and soil urease, catalase, and alkaline phosphatase activities were increased by 46.1%, 15.2%, and 23.1%, respectively. Annual crop yield and water use efficiency increased by 8.9% and 15.0%, respectively, in both the single-and double-season subsoiling treatment groups. This study demonstrated the advantages of subsoiling tillage and suggested that it is suitable for crop cultivation in the Haihe Plain, China.

“…A lack of deep tillage can limit the development of crop root systems, especially in heavy soils [23], whereas CT covers all the post-harvest residue. It is facilitated by seeding; a favorable space for root development is formed, however, soil is exposed to erosion [24], a decrease in the content of organic matter [25,26], and water losses [27]. Plough requires high inputs of energy, it generates high costs, and it has a negative effect on the economic result of the field plant production [28].…”

The non-inversion tillage systems, including strip-till (ST), are the key element of conservation agriculture (CA). The aim of the 2012–2018 study has been to demonstrate the application of strip-till one-pass technology (ST-OP) on the farms of Central and Eastern Europe based on the use of Mzuri Pro-Til machines. There has also been an evaluation of the effect of that technology on the soil properties and the effects of crops growing. The scientific observations and field experiments were made, e.g., in Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Eastern states of Germany, Belarus, Serbia, and Romania. ST-OP case study with the use of Mzuri Pro-Til machine can be applied for growing all the basic crops. Tillage with a simultaneous basic fertilization application and seeding made regularly for a few years in given field leads to favorable changes in the soil properties. As compared with the soil under conventional plough tillage (CT), the soil moisture, especially in the periods of rainfall deficit, the content of organic carbon and its fraction, the count of microorganisms and earthworms, as well as the enzymatic activity, are higher. This technology saves over 20–30 L ha−1 of fuel, respectively, compared to reduced tillage (RT) and CT. Plant emergence is uniform, dense canopies and crop yields—not lower and even higher than for tillage and seeding commonly applied in Central and Eastern Europe. ST-OP can be thus an important element of field plant production as part of CA and sustainable development.
