Summary

Within our country conditions the wheat, rye, barley, oilseed rape and pea-oat fodder are sown in autumn. They may be grown after crops that are harvested during summer or perennial crops or pastures that are included is crop rotation schemes. In the conditions of our country, crops that are harvested during the summer are: pea-oat fodder, pea, early potato, barley and wheat. After harvesting these crops, there must be done, immediately, the summer plowing because the soil is still moist, resulting a good quality plowing. Any delay conducts to diminishing the yields. Usually, the summer plow is made at 18-20 cm depth. Deeper plow are not necessary on most soil types from our country. Twenty cm deeper plow is need only on clayey soil that easily compacts, when the soil is highly infested by weeds, covered by high straw or when in the last year there was made a shallow plow. Summer plow, no matter the depth must be done along with harrow after plow. During the fall, till drilling, the soil has to be harrowed in order to destroy weeds and to maintain soil loosened.
