Influence of soil tillage technology on tillage erosion

Original language description

Tillage-induced erosion has negative impacts on the soil environment and production of the soil under intensive farming. Tillage erosion was evaluated during soil tillage performed by two technologies, i.e. conventional tillage and reduced tillage, commonly used in the Czech Republic. A field experiment was aimed at evaluating the soil particle translocation and magnitude of the vector angle. Aluminium cubes with an edge length of 16 mm were used as tracers. After each soil tillage operation, a metal detector searched these tracers in the topsoil. During the experiment, agricultural practices were always carried out on their respective dates for the whole season. The experiment results show that conventional tillage had a more adverse effect on tillage erosion than reduced tillage. This was confirmed on three experimental parcels with different slope gradients of 2, 6 and 11°. The largest translocation of soil tracers was observed on a parcel with the highest slope of 11°. There, the length of the translocation of tracers reached up to almost 10 m. The average length of soil tracer translocation in reduced tillage and conventional tillage ranged between 0.86 and 3.69 m. The largest average vector angle of tracer locations was recorded on a parcel with a slope of 6° for reduced tillage. In the treatment with the slope of 2° and conventional tillage used, the direction vector indicated upslope translocation of soil tracers. It was caused by soil tillage with a mouldboard plough turning over the topsoil layer upslope. In a treatment with a slope of 2° and reduced tillage used, no influence of the crosswise slope gradient of the plot on the direction vector was observed. The acquired knowledge will be used in further study of soil erosion processes.
