Autumn Tillage, Soil Moisture Content, and Crop Yields

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Innovations in Landscape Research ((ILR))

Abstract

The first part of this article gives an overview of soil preparation in the Altai region. In the second step, materials and methods of the research are presented and variants of soil preparation technologies as well as crop rotations outlined. Thereafter, information of water regime of the soils will be provided and the moisture rate of the meter soil layer during the growing season analyzed. Finally, crop yields and relative water rate are considered with respect to soil preparation technologies from which conclusions will be drawn.
