The application of different soil cultivation methods before sowing increased the values of investigated physical soil properties when simultaneously the depth of cultivation and soil compaction were reduced. However, it did not affect the spring triticale yield. Pre-sowing soil compaction by means of the Campbell and ring rollers significantly decreased plant emergence and the number of spikelets per ear. The grain yield was modified in 32% by out-of-control factors in the years and in 8% by nitrogen fertilisation.
