Traditional technologies for growing field crops need to be improved in new conditions in order to save resources and increase the profitability of seed production. This can be achieved by minimizing the main tillage of the soil and replacing ridge plowing with ridgeless plowing.

The results of the research showed that the success of the tillage system depends on the soil and climatic conditions of the region, the cultivated crop, the technology used, etc. As a result of global climate changes in the agricultural sector of Ukraine, there has been a redistribution of sown areas towards an increase in the share of oilseed crops, where sunflower plays a leading role. Due to the appearance in production of new early-ripening hybrids and varieties, sowing of this crop is spreading in the northwestern Forest-Steppe and Polissya of Ukraine. However, the agricultural technology of growing the crop in these conditions has not been studied sufficiently. In addition, information on the impact of alternative methods of tillage on sunflower yield in new growing conditions is limited.

Therefore, the task of finding effective technological solutions for soil cultivation is relevant, especially for the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.
