ABSTRACT
The effect of using straw and the application of effective microorganisms on soil moisture and compaction in plowing tillage and direct sowing is presented. Data were collected during the spring growing season during the three-year monoculture of winter wheat. Soil moisture and compaction at four levels to a depth of 40 cm were measured. Plowing tillage in comparison to direct sowing resulted in a reduction of average soil moisture at all depths, and soil compaction at the 10-40 cm levels. The application of effective microorganisms in plowing tillage caused an increase in soil compaction at all depths and moisture content of the deepest layer. The effective microorganisms used in direct sowing resulted in higher moisture content primarily in the surface layer. The use of straw did not affect significantly soil moisture but resulted in a reduction in compaction under direct sowing conditions. Straw, soil tillage method, application of the effective microorganisms and the interaction among those factors significantly affected soil moisture and compaction. The influence of the effective microorganisms on soil moisture is the most significant in plowing tillage, while the effect of straw on soil compaction is the most evident for direct sowing.
