STUDY ON SOIL PROCESSING UNDER THE ACTION OF KNIFE – CHISEL WORK ORGANS

Abstract

Soil processing plays an essential role and its quality depends on a good plant's development. The soil processing process has immediate positive effects by eliminating the compact layer from the surface, good weed control and even pest damage control, increasing the water infiltration rate in the soil and reducing excess water, rapidly stimulating plant growth and development. Nowadays, the transition from conventional soil works to conservative systems has an important component in the limelight, namely the soil processing. Conservative systems are based ona less intense soil cultivation, carried out by different methods, without turning the furrow and only under conditions of preserving the soil surface of a certain amount of vegetal debris, being considered for this reason ecological protection strategies.
