Various technologies can be used to process soil. In ZOD "Blata", plow technology is utilized by the plow and the technology is grooved using a deep cultivator. For each technology, a time frame was processed and their performance calculated. In addition, both soil cultivation technologies were compared in winter wheat and winter rape production between 2016 and 2017.

Among the numerous taphonomic influences that can impact biological remains, agricultural activity has one of the most widespread effects. The present research examines the impacts of agricultural activities on buried skeletal remains, both in archaeological and medicolegal contexts. Juvenile pig (Sus scrofa) skeletons were utilized to simulate buried juvenile human aged 3 to 5 years to test the influence of original burial depths and different plowing intervals on the dispersal and the degree of damage caused by an offset disk plow. Ten juvenile pig skeletons were buried in relatively anatomical position, five at a bottom depth of 15 cmbs (cm below the surface) and five at 22 cmbs. They were subjected to different intervals of plowing with one burial at each depth subjected to a single, three, five, seven, or ten plow passes. The disturbed area was surveyed for surface material, and the plow furrows were excavated in 1 m by 1 m units. The excavated soil was screened using a ¼" mesh screen, except for two burials that were screened using a nested ¼" and ⅛" mesh screen to test the differences in recovery between the two screen sizes. The recovered skeletal material was inventoried and assessed for damage. The results of this research showed that while original burial depth had some effect on distribution of bone and the degree to which bone was damaged, the relationship was not statistically significant. The number of plowing intervals did have a significant effect on the distribution and degree of damage. The damage caused to bone by the offset disk plow would be distinguishable from perimortem trauma in dry bone. Comparison of the recovery rates of ¼" and ⅛" mesh found that ⅛" contributed to a higher recovery of juvenile remains at least 3 to 5 years of age in soil with a high gravel content.

Tradiciškai naudojamas dirvos arimas yra daugiausia darbo reikalaujantis ir nenašiausias procesas, kuriam tenka apie 40% ir daugiau visų žemės dirbimo išlaidų. Dėl ilgalaikio žemės arimo ir nuolatinio sunkiųjų žemės ūkio mašinų naudojimo gali atsirasti gilių sukietėjusių ir tankių dirvožemio sluoksnių. Giliai purenant dirvožemį siekiama atkurti prarastas dirvožemio savybes ir išpurenti sutankėjusius dirvos sluoksnius, esančius žemiau už ariamą gylį, jų neapverčiant. Darbo tikslas buvo išanalizuoti tradicinio arimo ir gilaus purenimo įtaką dirvos fizikinėms savybėms, cukrinių runkelių morfometriniams, produktyvumo ir kokybiniams rodikliams. Atlikti tyrimai dirvos kiečio, struktūros ir patvarumo tyrimai. Padarytas dirvos pjūvis, kurio metu analizuota augalų ir dirvos būsena, taip pat nustatyti cukrinių runkelių morfometriniai rodikliai bei jų augimo priklausomybė nuo meteorologinių sąlygų. Giluminis dirvos purenimas sumažins armens sluoksnio ir podirvio kietumą bei struktūrą, taip pat pagerins cukrinių runkelių pasėlio vystymosi sąlygas, produktyvumo ir kokybinius rodiklius. / Traditionally used for plowing the soil is mostly time consuming and least efficient process, which accounts for about 40% or more of the total cultivation costs. The long standing agricultural plowing and heavy machinery use can lead to deep and hardened soil layers thick. Deep loosening of soil to restore the lost soil and loosen compacted soil layers below the depth of the arable, the an invension. The aim was to examine the traditional plowing and hoeing a deep impact on soil physical properties of sugar beet morphometric, productivity and quality indicators. The research on soil hardness and durability of the structure. Incision made in the soil, which analyzed the status of plant and soil, as well as the morphometric characteristics of sugar beet and their growing dependence on weather conditions. Deep soil loosening reduce topsoil and subsoil layer hardness and structure, as well as improve the sugar beet crop conditions for development, productivity and quality indicators.
