Analyzing the literary data of the last decades and based on the conducted research in conditions Left-bank Steppe and Left-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine were draw conclusions about direct influence soil treatment methods on the physical properties and respiration of the soil. It was confirmed that the soil density is a dynamic indicator and increases with decreasing processing intensity, both at the beginning and at the end of the vegetation. The moisture content of plants in a meter layer of soil is directly dependent on the treatment system. High indicators of moisture reserves in the no-till system are explained by the presence of a large amount of mulch, which remains on the surface of the soil. For two years of observations, the tendency to decrease the water permeability of the soil with a decrease in processing intensity is clearly defined. The influence of the basic physical and water-physical parameters of the soil on the dynamics of carbon dioxide production was also established. It is proved that the total amount of СО2 emissions from chernozem typical direct seeding technology prevails over the investigated methods of direct influence, which is facilitated by density, better water regime and more complete mineralization of plant residues from the soil surface.
