Abstract
A field experiment was established in separately tile-drained plots on a loam soil in Midle Lithuanian Lowland with a mean precipitation of 590 mm per year and the annual mean temperature +6.1 degrees C. The tillage experiment distinguished between conventional tillage (CT) with mouldboard ploughing 23-25 cm depth after harvest in August-September, late ploughing (LP) in the end of October - beginning of November and reduced tillage (RT).The aim of this work was to study the effects of three tillage systems on soil physical properties, soil water content and drainage outflow, during the six successive year's treatments (2005-2010).The reliability of the results was determined by processing them with mathematical-statistical methods using MS Excel 2000 Data Analysis Tool Pack. Differences of tillage treatments were tested at the significance level p
