The work is devoted to analysing the efficiency of resource-saving tillage technologies, namely minimum and zero tillage, in the cultivation of grain crops. Experimental work was carried out in different agro-climatic zones, using conventional, minimum and zero tillage. The influence of different tillage systems on yield, economic indicators of production and agrophysical properties of soil was studied. It was found that minimum tillage provides higher yield of grain crops compared to traditional ploughing, as well as improves soil structure, increases its biological activity and reduces fuel costs. Zero tillage in case of observance of technologies provides yield at the level of traditional tillage. The necessity of further study and adaptation of resource-saving technologies to specific soil and climatic conditions in order to achieve maximum economic and environmental efficiency has been revealed. The results emphasise the prospects of minimum tillage for sustainable agricultural development.
