Comparative Analysis of Sugar Beet Cultivation Using Conventional Loosening and Strip Till Technology
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the context of the intensification of agriculture, the choice of the optimal technology for growing sugar beet, which ensures an increase in yield and profitability of production, is particular relevance.In the Yevlakh region of Azerbaijan, where climatic conditions are characterized by dry periods and soil heterogeneity, it is important to conduct a comparative analysis of traditional and strip tillage technologies.Traditional technology includes plowing, harrowing, and cultivation, which helps improve soil aeration and texture.However, this treatment system leads to moisture loss, destruction of the humus layer, and increased fuel and labor costs.In contrast, strip till allows you to cultivate only narrow strips of soil, preserving its natural structure and reducing erosion processes.The analysis showed that the use of strip till technology helps to increase the moisture retention capacity of the soil, reduce resource consumption and increase plant resistance to drought.This makes this technology promising for implementation in the conditions of the Yevlakh district, ensuring the environmental and economic efficiency of sugar beet production.
