In this work, comparison of the results of planting root vegetables (carrot and parsley) using the classical method and in ridges, i.e. the Dutch method, was made. Under field conditions, selected soil properties (penetrometric resistance, shear strength, structural composition of soil grains and soil moisture content) in relation to soil preparation and its influence on the physico-mechanical characteristics of root vegetables were measured. The measured values of soil properties show a significant difference in soil structure tilled using the classical method with a 42-KON-600 combinator to a leveled plain and using the Rumpstad rotavator-ridger combination which creates a better condition for seed germination, growth and development than soils prepared with a combinator.
