The article presents results of studies on the effects of different-depth primary tillage methods on the agrophysical properties of sod-podzolic surface-gleyed soil and the productivity of spring oat under Western Forest-Steppe conditions. The tillage system significantly affected the soil water regime, density, and water permeability. Surface non-moldboard tillage (10–12 cm) was found to increase productive moisture reserves in the upper soil layer (0–10 cm) by 24,8% compared to plowing (20–22 cm), and also increased total moisture reserves in the 0–30 cm layer by 10%. At the same time, soil water permeability under surface tillage decreased by 14% before sowing and by 32% after harvesting. Bulk density studies showed that the highest values occurred in the 20–30 cm layer regardless of the tillage method; however, shallow and surface tillage caused additional compaction of the lower horizons. The results confirm the need for a differentiated approach to soil tillage that optimizes the water regime and preserves favorable agrophysical properties, an important factor in sustainable environmental protection.
