Abstract
Reduced tillage, as well as the most reduced tillage – No-till – every year gain greater importance in our region. Unfortunately, the areas under reduced tillage are still very small. In order to establish optimal system of reduced soil tillage, the experimental trials were set on Chernozem soil type in northern Baranja during three vegetation seasons (1998/1999-2000/2001) and three soil tillage systems: CT) Conventional Tillage (primary soil tillage by moldboard ploughing at 25-30 cm depth), DH) Multiple Diskharrowing at 10-15 cm as primary tillage, and NT) No-tillage system. The highest yields were recorded at DH with three-year average of 6.43 t/ha, followed by CT with 6.20 t/ha, whereas the lowest yields were recorded at NT treatment, with three-year average of 5.43 t/ha. The highest profit was achieved at DH treatment (1703.83 HRK/ha), followed by NT (1480.22 HRK/ha), whereas the lowest profit was recorded at CT (1032.69 HRK/ha).
