Abstract
Systems analysis identifies the need for a more ecological as well as more efficient approach to issues in modern agriculture. Soil structure of Typical moderately humic chernozem was monitored under mouldboard ploughing and three variants of conservation tillage under production conditions. Different kinds of tillage bring into play different mechanisms of soil structural development. As compared with ploughing, deep loosening and disking produce a more favourable, more resilient soil structure and improved soil water status.
