Influence of soil leveling in an agricultural field on soil conditions in terms of moisture

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of soil leveling operations of an agricultural field on soil conditions in terms of moisture. Methods. The main research methods used in the work were: a) measurement; b) comparison, c) modeling, d) analysis. To ensure high yields of crops, it is necessary to maintain optimal levels for plants in terms of water, air and nutrient regimes. To analyze the state of the field, the principles of GPS technologies were applied in the work, which in terms of evaluation, as well as re-examination, compare favorably with laser technologies. Results. An agricultural field with an uneven surface has lowering and rising levels. Obviously, moisture will accumulate in depressions. It follows that there will be a lack of moisture for the plant at elevations, and excess at depressions. To eliminate such problems, the layout of the fields is carried out. A possible negative component in the planning of the surface of an agricultural field is the cutting of the soil layer and denudation, and at the same time the lower layers, the fertility of which is much lower. The article presents the results of studies of agricultural fields on which planning is carried out. Field planning is designed to increase yields, which is provided by the uniform distribution of irrigation water over the entire area, while providing all plants with the required amount of moisture for the entire growing season. In conclusion, the importance of considering the influence of the thickness of the fertile soil layer cut by the working body of the planner on the yield of the agricultural crop is determined.
