Temperature regime of the arable layer of sod-podzolic soil under different tillage systems and crops

Abstract

In the field experiment there was studied the seasonal temperature regime of the arable layer of sod-podzolic soil under different soil treatment. It was shown that soil treatment (conventional plowing and No-till technology) did not have a significant effect on the topsoil temperature regime. Seasonal and daily temperature variations in topsoil depended on the location of the soil temperature measurement point, on the distance from the windbreak forest belts and on the crop coverage of the soil.
