Summary

Studies were conducted on a cambic cernosiom, with a medium content of clay, dominant in the Prodagro West Arad agro-centre and representative for a large surface in the Banat-Crisana Plain, on the Arad cadasiral territory, Romania. The experimental factors considered include: soil work system; foliar phyto-sanitary treatment; classical system; and no-till system. From the geomorphological point of view, the perimeter on which the experiments are located belongs to the large physical-geographic unity called the Vinga High Plain. Relief present itself as a succession of high plain, almost even, with altitudes between 95-200 m, separated by wide valleys, rather deep, collected quite in exclusivity by Berecsau river (and less by Mires river). The zone between the rivers are well individuated in 5 steps layed in fan shape: Seceani (180 m), Alios (160 m), Vinga (150 m), Calacea (130 m), Satchinez (100 m) realized by Mires river at different geological moments an partly tectonically influenced. Hydrographically, the perimeter where the experiment is placed belongs to the hydrographic basin of Mires river which flows at approximately 2-3 km north from this. The pedophreatic levels are at 5.1-10 m depth (they do not interfere in the pedogenesis processes) in flat areas and between 1.5-3.0 m depth in the valleys. For wheat, the production was between 3613-4817 kg/ha, the highest production of 4817 kg/ha, being registered in the no-till system, treated and the lowest of 3613 kg/ha in the no-till system . For maize the obtained production had values of 3658-5680 kg/ha, the highest production of 5680 kg/ha, being registered in classic system treated and the lowest of 3658 kg/ha in no-till system untreated.
