STUDY ON LAND PREPARATION TECHNIQUE FOR CULTIVATION OF FODDER CORN AFTER GREEN PEAS

Abstract

A current trend in agricultural technique is to perform minimal soil work both in preparing the soil for sowing and in caring for all plants, but especially for those that are sown.
This study looked at the production differences in fodder corn recorded between the incorporation of green peas with the disk and its incorporation into the soil with the multi-purpose cultivator. The two options show notable differences in depth and quality of work, effectiveness in weed control and impact on soil structure.
The research presents a comparative analysis of the two technologies, adapted to the specifics of chernozem soils, characterized by high fertility and a superior capacity to retain water and nutrients. The obtained results showed that the peas incorporated in the soil had a positive effect on the soil fertility and therefore also on the corn productivity.
