RESEARCH RESULTS OF LONG-TERM USE OF NEW LINE OF MACHINESAND TOOLS FOR LAND SURFACE AND DEPTH ARRANGEMENT

This paper presents the results of the application of the machinesand tools for new technologies in plant production for two years of research. Thecomparative analysis of the influence of new technologies and new types ofmachines was done, and also the effect of conventional tillage systems on severalagricultural crops (sunflower, commercial maize and wheat). During theexperiment, we analysed the effects of application of new line of machines to:physical properties of soil, morphological features of crops, use of energy andyield, and we also analysed the economic aspects of the application. On the controlplots, a conventional tillage system was simultaneously applied for comparativeanalysis of the previously mentioned factors. Trials were conducted on productionplots of Maize Research Institute “Zemun Polje” in Krnješevci from October 2008until July 2010.
