Intensive soil tillage systems provide a low topsoil protection and lead to a strong soil loosening. This increases the danger of silting, soil erosion and soil compaction. The loosening depth effects the degree of soil cover, the infiltration through aeration and load bearing capacity of the soil. Comprehensive total area soil protection as well as the prevention of silting and soil erosion can be achieved with organic residues from previous and/or intermediate crops with non turning tillage with/without loosening. Organic residues of inter- and cover crops and conservation tillage techniques ensure a comprehensive and area wide soil cover. This can reduce the erosion starting process of silting. By the increasing activity of earth worms biogenic vertical pores with an increased infiltration capacity are produced. A conservative soil loosening improves the load bearing capacity of the soil and reduces the risk of soil compaction.
