Sažetak
Soil loss quantity was recorded during the five-year investigation cycle on Stagnic Luvisol. Due to its unfavourable physical and chemical properties, this soil type is prone to crust formation and to intensive erosion by water on sloping terrains. Appreciably higher rates of soil erosion were recorded in the growing of low-density row spring crops than in high-density winter crops and double-cropping under the same tillage methods. The time immediately following the sowing of spring crops is the most critical period, that is, the period when highest soil loss occurs. Summing up all the advantages and drawbacks of the studied tillage methods, we recommend no-tillage, ploughing across the slope and double- cropping for wider application on this soil type.
