Abstract
â¶ Conservation tillage benefits might be confirmed in large commercial farms. â¶ No tillage at long term has occasionally caused yield losses (by soil compaction mainly). â¶ One single mouldboard ploughing application decreased soil quality at surface. â¶ Mouldboard ploughing did not improve crop performance and yield at short or midterm. â¶ Occasional mouldboard ploughing application was not justified in erodible soils.
