Soil tillage management in mitigation of climate change

Climatic factors (especially temperature and precipitation) in any significant extent, directly or indirectly, affect crop production. Soil water deficit or over-saturation (water- logging) directly affects on the amount of grain yields, and also many other elements. Adapted tillage systems are among the one of the most important ways to mitigate adverse climatic implications. The paper evaluates different tillage systems in climatically very different years, in the period from 1999-2009 year, and evaluations are based on the amount of average grain yields of maize, winter wheat and soybean. The conclusion is that besides the total annual rainfall, more important is a proper distribution of precipitation (especially in vegetation season). The proper and adapted application of reduced or conservation soil tillage systems can significantly mitigate the negative impact of adverse weather conditions.
