Undercarriages impact on soil of machine-tractor units during tillage and cultivation of agricultural crops

The article discusses the impact of machine-tractor unit (MTU) undercarriages during soil cultivation and agricultural crops. With a movement row-crop units across field, MTU propellers repeatedly compact soil. This negatively affects production seedlings, growth development plants, yield In this regard, these studies are purposed at determining compaction effects on conducting an agroecological assessment existing MTUs, studying under influence general-purpose caterpillar wheeled tractors pre-sowing its effect quality plants; cotton. Depending zone, technological operations were carried out, preceding sowing, early spring harrowing plow to close moisture, chiseling after leaching irrigation or spare winter irrigation, plowing with subsequent smalling, leveling, etc. expertise tracked MTUs according criterion: vertical force acting wheel, consisting weight machine external forces (mounted for cultivation, etc.). is transferred by contact surface formed between wheel
