Abstract

Abstract: The field experiments was carried out over the period of 2007-2009 at the experimental farm Kalná nad Hronom in south-western Slovakia. The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of conventional and reduced tillage and management of organic matter on the soil physical characteristics. The winter wheat – maize – spring barley crop sequence was evaluated. The soil tillage treatments as follows: T1- conventional mould board ploughing with farm yard manure (FYM) application to maize (on autumn 2007) and incorporation of post harvested residues of spring barley, winter wheat and maize ; T2- conventional mould board ploughing ; T3-no-till Horsch CONCORD CO 9. During June soil samples were
