Abstract
Winter wheat performance on the meadow-chestnut middle loamy soils of the Dagestan plane region has been studied in the conditions of common moldboard and surface tillage. It was shown that, on average for 2012–2015, soil moisture before the sowing was 7% higher within the surface tillage in comparison with moldboard tillage for the depth 20–22 cm. Ground germination capacity in this condition also was 14.2% higher. The advantage of surface tillage over moldboard tillage is in moisture and nutrient accumulation and ground germination capacity that promotes yield increase of winter wheat. Thus, at the average rate over 2013–2015, the crop yield in the conditions of moldboard tillage was 3.37 t/ha and that in the conditions of surface tillage was 3.75 t/ha or 0.38 t/ha greater.
