Long-term Impact of Rotary Method of Soil Mechanical Treatment on Soil Properties

Abstract

The imitating approach to the technique and technology of soil cultivation excels the influence of natural factors of soil formation and leads to the anthropogenic biosphere degradation. The article fundamentally justifies the rotary soil cultivation in terms of genesis of soil. This method provides the formation of a new layer in the soil depth, which intensifies the geological and biological processes, influences the overlying soil layers, increases the biological productivity of the soil and stability of its mechanical system for a long term. Technical solutions of rotary devices for soil cultivation are considered and long-term results of their practical application are presented.
