Abstract

The presented paper points to the specific features of conservation, or reduced, tillage in different European countries. The specificities are mainly due to different ecological conditions, but also to objective potentials of adopting new scientific findings and technological innovations, and partly also different concepts in the sphere of soil tillage. Still, in most countries conservation tillage has not extended to such an extent as could be expected according to their natural conditions. Subjective difficulties demanding a higher educational level and orientation to the scientific approach to conservation tillage should not be disregarded either. As regards this country, investigations of conservation tillage should be extended to all soil types and to those, primarily field crops which are expected to respond favourably to conservation tillage.
