Sažetak
Throughout the last 120 years, the tillage progress in the South-East Europe can be characterized as a fight against extreme climatic and economic situations. However, this struggle has been beneficial in arousing new tillage trends and improving tillage methods for unfavourable conditions. The ‘reasonable tillage’ approach that was appeared at the end of the 1800s was aimed at reducing tillage without increasing the risk of crop failure in arable fields. Recently, new tillage trends and systems have been introduced because of the need to cut production costs, conserve soil and water resources and mitigate the climate threats. There are new steps in the conservation methods, such as till and plant, mulch-till and plant, strip till and plant and direct drilling, which are mostly environment capable, throughout improving or maintaining soil condition. The applicability of various soil conservation tillage methods is currently being tested in research projects and discussed in workshops throughout the region. The most important questions in adoption of any new tillage systems are the adaptability to the cropping requirements and site conditions, the yield certainty, good trainability and reasonable investment level. The aim of this paper is to review the tillage traditions and to evaluate the progressive steps.
