Abstract: 

Interactions in the soil agro-ecosystem caused by different soil tillage systems were investigated in Germany in a series of field trials with different tillage systems, soil types (sand, loam, clay), and different crop rotations. The tillage systems were (in order of decreasing contact intensity): plough and secondary tillage, chisel plough with rotary harrow, wing share cultivator and rotary harrow, vertical rotary harrow, rotary harrow air seeding, and no-tillage. The effects of the different tillage systems on agrotechnical aspects, soil physical and biological properties, aggregate stability and surface sealing, the fate of herbicides in the soil, and plant yields and production costs were compared.
