Strip-till technology was formed in the USA on a short corn-soybean crop rotation. Both crops are harvested in September-October and thereby exclude the appearance of post-harvest weeds. In addition, both crops are grown on wide-row crops, and this prompted the emergence of strip cultivation technology.
Strip-till technology is an alternative tillage option between traditional plowing and direct seeding. When applying this technology, the soil is deeply loosened only within the row, the rest of the field remains untreated.
Structurally, each section for strip soil cultivation consists of such working bodies as a frame, a front slotted disk that cuts the soil surface and plant remains, and also withstands the depth of cultivation. Cutting discs on one rack clear the row of plant remains and lightly mulch the soil surface. The section rack performs tillage to a depth of up to 30 cm, and if additional equipment is available, it can provide fertilizers, including at two different depth values, and the rear roller compacts and grinds the soil surface. The use of this technology makes it possible to reduce the number of operations in one pass of the unit. Also, the above-mentioned tillage technology can solve such problems as high weediness, low fertility of soils with insufficient content of organic substances, the presence of a short growing season, and can also be used in arid regions and soils prone to wind erosion.
The disadvantage of this technology is the need to apply a continuous action herbicide. But these economic costs of weed control are not significant in the total cost of tillage. It should be noted that herbicides are also applied according to traditional technology.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production.
During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured.
Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
The journal consistently adheres to the principles of open science. All published materials are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), ensuring open access to research results provided proper attribution to the authors and the original publication is maintained.
At present, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is an authoritative professional scientific journal (Category B), providing a platform for the publication of fundamental and applied research results, promoting the integration of education, science, and industry, and contributing to the advancement of engineering and technological support of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine.
