Summary

This study was conducted on a cambic chernozem in the Banat-Crisana Plain (Romania) to determine the quantitative and qualitative influence of tillage and fertilizer modifications made on the agroecosystem level on wheat, maize and soyabeans. The treatments include with and without deep soil working, conventional and no-tillage, and with (P1, N 80P 80K 80; P2, N 160P 80K 80) and without fertilizer application. Wheat was sown in 17 October 2007 and harvested in 28 June 2008. Maize was sown in 20 April 2008 and harvested in 27 Septerm 2008. Soyabean was sown 22 April 2008 and harvested in 11 October 2008. The field under the no-till system was maintained with more weeding than the conventional tillage. In terms of the evolution of soil humidity, more uniform values were obtained in the soil profile of the no-till system, while a low increase in soil water content was observed in the fields with deep working of soil. For wheat, the highest yield (4579 kg/ha) was obtained from the no-till system without deep working of the soil with P2 treatment, while the lowest yield (3475 kg/ha) was obtained from the conventional tillage system with deep soil working without fertilizer. For maize, the highest yield (5749 kg/ha) was obtained under the no-till system without deep working of soil with P2 treatment, while the lowest yield (3415 kg/ha) in classic system with deep work of soil without fertilizer. For soyabeans, the highest yield (1988 kg/ha) was obtained from the conventional tillage system without deep working of soil with P2 treatment, while the lowest (880 kg/ha) was obtained from the no-till system with deep working of soil without fertilizer treatment.
