Abstract
In the paper the results of an experiment are presented which objective was to compare effects of different tillage methods on selected traits of soil structure. The field experiment was conducted in 1994–2000, according to the randomized blocks method in four replicates, on a medium soil. There were three treatments in the experiment. The control treatment was the object on which traditional tillage of sugar beet was performed. In the second treatment stubble crop was introduced and in the third one plowing was replaced by direct drilling. Before the harvest of sugar beet, soil samples were collected from 0–5 and 5–30 cm soil layers and weighed mean of soil aggregate diameter was determined (MWDa). After sieving wet samples using the Bakszajew method weighed mean of soil aggregate diameter (MWDg), waterproofness (WOD) and waterprofness constant (K) indices were determined. Using a stubble crop before sugar beet increased weighed mean of soil aggregate diameter but reduced waterproofness of the aggregates and soil structure index. In all tillage treatments the 0-5 cm soil layer had the highest mean of soil aggregate diameter (MWDa and MWDg).
