New Tillage System with Additional Renovation of Soil Properties in Tramlines

Fertilizing and spraying techniques are repeatedly driven in tramlines for crop care with products whose demand increases for higher yields. The soil in tramlines is so compacted by heavy crop care machinery what leads breakdown to lifelessness. Such damaged state of the soil continues all season and leads to dejected soil productivity. The aim of this study is to find an optimal process of soil renovation in tramlines on loam and clay loam soil and to determine the required fuel consumption. The soil renovation was investigated by specially made Tiller on the dependence of tine shape types (narrow and winged) and working speed 1.6, 2.2 and 3.6 m∙s−1 in loam and clay loam soil. The beneficial relationships of soil aggregate fraction ratio, which varied from 0.54 to 4.08 and fuel consumption, which varied from 1.04 to 1.82 L·km−1 independence on tine shape and soil type was established. Based on research results, the sufficient soil loosening to suitable proportion of soil aggregates fraction ratio on loam soil was accomplished at working speed 3.6 m∙s−1 with winged tine type and fuel consumption was 1.04 L·km−1. The suitable soil aggregate fraction ratio on clay loam was achieved at working speed 3.6 m∙s−1 with narrow tine shape type and fuel consumption was 1.31 L·km−1. The volume of loosed soil in tramlines was particularly influenced by variation of tines shapes but was not influenced by the working speed majorly. The aligning of soil surface was influenced by the working speed majorly and particularly by variation of tines shapes.
