This bachelor thesis compares the influence of various examples of soil tillage on the changes of soil properties and grain corn yield. It contrasts measuring results from a long-term experiment of grain corn monoculture. The thesis uses results from years 2012 to 2014. The field experiment was carried out in a grain corn production area on brown medium heavy soil. There were three alternatives of soil tillage compared -- convention tillage, minimum tillage and no-till. During the observed time from 2012 to 2014, the highest average yield was achieved in the alternative with convention tillage. The highest average grain corn yield was reached in 2013 with convention tillage (10,2 t.ha-1), the lowest in 2014 with no-till (4,99 t.ha-1). The comparison of the influence of various examples of soil tillage on the soil properties showed values which refer to the problem of soil compaction. This finding was proved also by soil research with the help of penetrometer measuring. Critical values of soil compaction were detected in the depth of 0,10-0,30 m in the no-till alternative. This compaction results in the decrease of minimal air capacity under 10 %. Excessive soil compaction was also detected in the depth of 0,20-0,30 m in the minimum tillage alternative. Negative compaction was not proved in the convention tillage alternative. From the observation results and experience gained from practice it is possible to recommend minimum tillage as the most optimal alternative for grain corn production in this area. The use of minimization is optimal for grain corn growth and evolution and in comparison with convention tillage it is more soil-friendly, more efficient with regard to the use of labour force and more profitable.

This diploma thesis is aimed at comparing the influence of various soil tillage alternatives on grain corn yield and the changes of soil properties. The observation was carried out at an experimental station with corn monoculture, in an experiment established in 2001 in a corn production area on loam Orthic Luvisol. The thesis compiles results from years 2015 and 2016. Four basic examples of soil tillage were assessed - ploughing (0,22 m), deep loosening (0,25 m), shallow loosening (0,12 m) and direct sowing. The highest average grain corn yield was achieved in 2016 after deep loosening (13,35 t.ha-1), similar values were after shallow loosening (13,23 t.ha-1) and ploughing (12,94 t.ha-1), the lowest yield was after direct sowing (12,35 t.ha-1). The yield in year 2015 was influenced by extreme climate conditions. It was approximately by 50% lower than in year 2016. The highest yield was after deep loosening (6,67 t.ha-1) and the lowest after ploughing (5,63 t.ha-1). This diploma thesis also evaluates basic soil physics - bulk density, total porosity, minimum soil air capacity and soil moisture content. It follows from statistical assessment that when the intensity of soil tillage sinks, the values of bulk density raise statistically significantly and total porosity sinks. The alternative of direct sowing proved the highest values of bulk density, the lowest values of total porosity and the lowest values of minimum soil air capacity. The values measured during direct sowing in 0,10-0,20 m depth exceeded the critical limits of soil compaction. The lowest soil moisture content was shown during deep loosening and the highest during direct sowing. Measured penetrometric soil resistance always increased under the depth of soil tillage and there the more solid layer was formed. However, the critical limit indicating soil compaction was exceeded only during tillage. It was in depth 0,25 m. From long-term evaluation, shallow loosening can be recommended to grow grain corn in this area. This alternative provides corn with optimal conditions for its growth and development. When compared to the alternative of ploughing it is more soil-friendly, more profitable and uses labour force more effectively. The experience from practice and the results of our experiment vindicated the recommendation of regular deep loosening inclusion when growing grain corn.
