Sažetak
The cultivation of soil above other advantages has favorable effect in destroying pest shelters and disrupts their life cycles. The aim of this paper is to present the effect of different tillage systems on population of common voles (Microtus arvalis Pallas, 1778). The experiment was done through three years in Baranya County in Croatia, on winter wheat in crop rotation after soybean. Eight different tillage systems: Conventional soil tillage by ploughing – CT ; Diskharrowing – DH ; Chiseling + diskharrowing – CH ; Notillage for both crops – NT ; Diskharrowing for w. wheat and ploughing for soybean (year before) – CSDW ; Ploughing for w. wheat and diskharrowing for soybean (year before) – CWDS ; No-tillage for w. wheat and ploughing for soybean (year before) – CsNw ; Ploughing for w. wheat and no-tillage for soybean (year before)– CwNs. Results showed statistically significant differences between tillage systems and years. The biggest number of burrows occurred in treatments where soil tillage was omitted in year before and where common voles remained from previous year. Based on all obtained results, it can be concluded that tillage system has great impact on presence of common voles, and continuously deep ploughing decrease their number significantly in comparison to treatments where deep ploughing is omitted, either in current year or year before.
