Abstract
This article describes the outcomes of the research of different options for the main treatment of gray forest soil at the experimental site of JSC "Lednevo" in the Yuriev-Polsky district of the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation. The experiment consists of 3 variants with an average area of 7.5 ha, 12 lines with reduced processing intensity and replicated 4 times. According to the results of the research, it was found that the main problem with the physical condition of the soil is the significant compaction of the soil at a depth of 20-25 cm. When using waste treatment, an increase in soil heterogeneity was observed, and the presence of weeds was noted in the "minimal" options, which required a change in the strategy of using plant protection agents and strict adherence to crop rotation. This article recommends deep loosening of the soil to a depth of 35-40 cm in the fall, followed by minimal tillage by cultivators to remove the "plough base" and reduce soil compaction.
