Abstract Soil degradation and water erosion are undoubtedly serious global problems. Moreover, excessive surface runoff the lack of in landscape problems encountered not only Czech agricultural land. This condition is unsustainable long-term it necessary to find, verify quantify suitable methods for reducing soil degradation. In this study, we tested two conservation technologies sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) cultivation. Our results show that was reduced by more than 78% (no-till) 89% (no-till: narrow row) rainfall simulation on naturally moist compared conventional Also, use (52% no-till, 68% no-till: row). has similar agronomic requirements as maize but advantage a good dryness tolerance high efficiency. The two-year research (2014, 2017) took place Central Bohemian Region. verified using simulator. have shown both no-till significant P < 0.05) effect.
