Abstract

The paper aims to present a model of farm management, starting from the threats related to soil quality identified by the Joint Research Centre of the European Union (JRC). Soil samples were collected and analyzed from the Prundu farm on the Big Island of Brăila, after the soybean crop, a farm that is located on alluvial soils formed on river-lake deposits.
The effect of the minimum tillage system, carried out with the Joker, on the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil influencing soil quality was followed. Soil samples were collected and analyzed from three profiles every 10 cm at a depth of 50 cm.
When establishing the fertilizer doses, it was taken into account to obtain a soybean production of 4000 kg/ha. NPS complex fertilizer and UAN liquid fertilizer were applied, fractionated in two batches to avoid large nitrogen losses through leaching. A total of 94 kg/ha of nitrogen (N), 41 kg/ha of phosphorus (P), and 30.24 kg/ha of sulfur (S) were applied.
