Abstract

Under current conditions, agriculture must relate to requirement "green", meaning sustainability for environment, based on amplification of climatic accidents, while the global inhabitants increase too. Therefore, there is a need to adapt the agricultural management practices to the peculiarities of water shortages, agriculture being the main drinking water consumer. The crops (as a component of plant biodiversity), managed by the field exploitations, are conditioned by the existence of the fertile soil, too. Together with eroded soil, significant amounts of minerals are leached, which, for the majority of crops could represent high percentage of required chemicals. The intensification of techniques in agriculture generally leads to the amplification of greenhouse gas emissions, major contribution having excessive mechanization. The paper has as aim the analysis and promotion of aspects to achieve soil tillage compatible with proper natural management resources, under friendly environment and economically efficient conditions. The analysis is conclusive and is based on research data as well as its own experience in agriculture.
