LIMITATIVE FACTORS FOR EXPANDING SOIL TILLAGE SYSTEMS IN THE HILLY AREAS OF THE TRANSYLVANIAN DEPRESSION
Abstract
Soil conservation systems cover a broad spectrum of agricultural methods mainly aiming at irreversible soil loosening and recovering plant debris in order to reduce erosion. This paper aims to clarify the criteria, conditions and limitative factors for extending conservative tillage systems in the agricultural holdings in Transylvania. Knowledge of pedoclimatic and socio-economic peculiarities of agricultural areas is a prerequisite for recommending optimal soil conservation systems. The changes towards which farmers in hilly areas should be oriented are all based on the trends of the implementation and expansion of soil conservation systems, starting from their education in choosing the cultivation methods.
