Environmental pollution has reached such an advanced stage that no measure can effectively stop the adverse effects shortly. The effort of many future generations is necessary globe wide to be able to restore within normal limits the damage that has been reached at present. Agriculture must contribute to these remedies by recycling plant residues, improving cultivation technologies to make them as environmentally friendly as possible, using biological pesticides and alternative methods of fighting harmful organisms, as well as redirecting farmers to choose new crops that can complete the range and diversify it to practice sustainable agriculture. The purpose of this research was to observe the quantity of maize biomass depending on the type of tillage by comparing specific conservative agriculture tillage with the classic soil tillage - plowing in drought and heat conditions of 2021-2022. The maximum values of green biomass (37.04 Mg ha-1) and dry biomass (10.57 Mg ha-1) were recorded in the scarified plot - L3, and the minimum values of 22.63 Mg ha-1 respectively 6.93 Mg ha-1, in the control plot L1 - plowed.
