The results of investigation of influence of different soil processing methods on weed infestation of crops and their influence on agricultural crop efficiency in the conditions of the Orel region are examined. The analysis and estimation of agricultural crop infestation including different quantitative characters: rating system, weed plant phytomass, projective cover in comparison with projective cover of cultivated plants, specific number of weed plants and their influence on agricultural crop efficiency are carried out. The influence of different seeds variants and modern basic soil cultivation on weed infestation of crops, utilization of foreign seeding complex John Deere 730 and national seeding machine SZ-5,4 is shown.
