The crop establishment belongs to crucial
technology operations. The quality of
sowing is the basis for obtaining efficiency of production. Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) is a
technology which prevents excessive soil compaction and minimizes compacted area to the
smallest possible area of perman
ent traffic lanes (PTL). There were two sowing systems
compared, namely row and band sowing when growing winter barley. Sowing parameters as well
as all other field operations were identical for both compared systems. Measurements were
conducted at an expe
rimental field on non
-
compacted and traffic lane areas where CTF system
was introduced in 2009, with 64% of compacted and 36% of non
-
compacted soil. Six crop
parameters were analysed. Generally, it can be concluded that the band sowing performed better
in
yield (by 9.3% in non
-
compacted area; by 3.8
%
in traffic lane), ear number (by 5.2% in non
-
compacted area; by 10.1% in traffic lane) and grain number (by 6.3% in non
-
compacted area; by
8.1% in traffic lane) as well as crop height (by 6.6% in non
-
compacted
area; and by 2.4% in
traffic lane). The only parameter performing worse was TGW with decrease of 6.6% in non
-
compacted area and decrease 2.8% in traffic lane for band system. Differences in number of grain
per ear were negligible.
