Abstract

Paper are shown research results of ecology and economic effectiveness of V-Blade tillage application for decreasing of water surface runoff and soil losses of Chernozems on slopes. It was established, that at the eroded chernozem V-Blade tillage application leads to reducing of snowmelt and rainwater. In this case, soil losses was less in 2,2-2,0 times, compared to traditional tillage (plowing). Using of V-Blade tillage contributes to the reduction of energy losses, which accumulated in chernozem’s humus compounds and reducing the cost of human labor for сultivation.

Keywords: сhernozems, sprinkling, surface runoff, soil losses, humus content, power consumption.
