| Abstract | This research work was carried out at the agricultural and livestock farm “Ranulfo Leyva Pacheco” which belongs to the enterprise of multiple cultivations “Paquito Rosales Benitez”. The soil preparation process for the cultivation of sweet potato not only changes soil physical properties but also leads to high energy consumption, especially in the labor of soil tillage with disk plow, where a great percentage of fuel is consumed. The objective of this work has been to evaluate an alternative farming implement of vertical and horizontal cut to the traditional with disk plow in soil ploughing, which allows reducing energy consumption of the process under the conditions of a Fluvisol and also Carbon Dioxide emissions that reach the atmosphere. The treatments considered have been traditional soil ploughing, T1, which consisted in ploughing the soil with the ADI-3M disk plow, and soil ploughing, T2, which consisted in ploughing the soil with a multi-plowing machine. Treatment T2 presented less direct use energy consumption (0,83 GJ ha-1) and indirect use energy consumption (0,08 GJ ha-1), with a total consumption of 0,91 GJ ha-1, causing the 66% reduction of CO2 emissions, motivated by a 69% reduction of fuel consumption (20,2 L ha-1) regarding the ploughing with disk plow with 29,2 L ha-1 under the same soil and climatic conditions. |
