This paper focuses on the importance of introduction of conservation tillage and sowing technologies for basic cultivars. Reviewed are advantages and disadvantages of these novel tillage and sowing technologies. It is emphasized that equisite results of application of these technologies are not to be expected immediately. However, transition from conventional to direct sowing is important from aspects of environment, energy and economy. In order to shed more light on ambiguous information on sugar beet yield when using conservation technologies, the authors conducted a comparative experiment to establish the effects of tillage on yield. The same sowing aggregate regimes were applied for both conventional and conservation soil tillage. The results of our investigations indicate that conservation tillage favourably influences emergence, growth, and development of crops, and applied to sugar beet cultivation, it results in a 7 higher yield compared to the already used conventional technology. Conservation tillage contributes to good soil maintenance, regarding both environmental and agricultural aspects, and should see wider domestic application.
