Experimental finding show, that the higher soil structurality in seedbed, the most favourable soil moisture and the lower crust formed on the surface was in the soil prepared using a complex method as compared with conventional tillage in autumn. The best distribution of soil aggregates in the seedbed's layers was determined in the soil tilled by a combined spring - tine harrow and reciprocating harrow, however the lower content of valuable soil aggregates (2-5 mm) and heavier soil crust was measured, when the soil had been rototilled before sowing as compared with the soil cultivated by 'C' type tines. The most favourable soil moisture in the seedbed was in the soil prepared in spring by the implements with passive working parts
