An experiment with five different tillage systems and their influence on physical properties of a silty loam soil (Albic Luvisol) was carried in north-west Slavonia in the period of 1997-2000. The compared tillage systems were: 1. conventional tillage (CT), 2. reduced tillage (RT), 3. conservation tillage I (CP), 4. conservation tillage II (CM), 5. no-tillage system (NT). The crop rotation was soybean (Glycine max L.) - winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - soybean - winter wheat. Differences between tillage systems in bulk density, porosity, water holding capacity, and air capacity were not significant in winter wheat seasons. In soybean seasons, significant differences between some tillage systems were recorded in bulk density, porosity, soil moisture, and air capacity. The deterioration trend of physical properties was generally increasing in the order CM, CT, CP, NT and RT. The highest yield of soybean in the first experimental year was achieved under CT system and the lowest under CP system. In all other experimental years, the highest yield of winter wheat and soybean was achieved under CM system, while the lowest under RT system.

- Effect of Tillage Implements and Operating Speeds on Soil Physical Properties and Wheat Emergence (2007, methodology): “Husnjak et al. (2002) reported that among the soil physical properties strong reciprocal dependence was found between crop yield and soil bulk density, and strong direct dependence between crop yield and total porosity.”
- Effects of different tillage system on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal propagules and physical properties in a Mediterranean agroecosystem in central Chile (2011, background): “Tillage is the most widely studied management practice that affects soil hydraulic properties and processes, including WHC (Strudley et al., 2008); thus, higher rb reduced soil porosity and increase WHC values changing the ratio of WHC: air capacity (Husnjak et al., 2002).”
- Patterns of change in soil organic matter, physical properties and crop productivity under tillage practices and cropping systems in Bangladesh (2016, background): “…properties are deteriorating from destructive agricultural practices (removal of crop residues, tillage by country/power tiller/chisel plough followed by levelling of soil by rotavator with two to four passes and several wet tillage operations followed by puddling of soil) (Husnjak et al. 2002).”
