Considering that basic tillage and soil preparation for the sowing of rapeseed is conducted during dry season, it is very important to choose the correct method of tillage for each area or soil type. This research aimed to determine the impact of soil tillage on yield, yield components and energy efficiency of rapeseed production under agro-ecological conditions of Podravina region. The study included two types of tillage for rapeseed: 1) conventional tillage - plow, rotary harrow, integrated rotary harrow unit + sowing machine, 2) reduced tillage - saw blade, integrated rotary harrow unit + sowing machine. The study was carried out on leached soil on the sands in year 2017/2018. on a plot with a total surface area of 3.5 ha. Conventional tillage was carried out on one half of the plot (1.75 ha), and reduced tillage on the other half (1.75 ha). On each variant of tillage, the rapeseed was harvested in three replicates and plant samples were taken, also in three replicates. The Fendt 716 Vario 118 kW all-wheel-drive tractor was used for all working tillage operations. During all work operations, fuel consumption was measured by volumetric method and energy consumption was subsequently calculated. The method of tillage did not have a significant effect on seed yield, oil content in seed and oil yield. Also, the soil tillage method had no significant effect on the morphological characteristics and yield components of rapeseed. Reduced tillage resulted in energy savings of 387 MJ/ha, i.e. reduced fuel consumption by 10 l/ha. Therefore, reduced tillage is more environmentally friendly due to lower CO2 emissions. From an economic point of view, a reduced cost of tillage is more profitable, as compared to conventional soil, because a higher total income of 336,90 kn/ha, thatis 4,08 %, has been achieved.
