  Abstract:  Actual and potential dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase activities and nitrate, ammonium and mobile phosphorus contents were determined in the 0–10–, 10–20– and 20–30–cm layers of a brown luvic soil submitted to a complex tillage and crop rotation experiment. Each activity and each chemical content in both non-tilled and conventionally tilled soil under crops of both rotations decreased with increasing sampling depth. It was found that no-till – in comparison with conventional tillage – resulted in significantly higher soil enzymatic activities and nitrate, ammonium and mobile phosphorus contents in the 0–10– and 10–20–cm layers and in significantly lower activities and chemical contents in the deeper layers. The soil under wheat or maize was more enzyme-active in the 6– than in the 2–crop rotation. In the 2–crop rotation, higher enzymatic activities were registered under maize and under wheat, excepting acid phosphatase activity; nitrate, ammonium and mobile phosphorus contents were significantly higher under maize. In the 6–crop rotation, higher enzymatic activities were registered under wheat, excepting actual dehydrogenase activity; ammonium and mobile phosphorus contents were higher under wheat. There were positive correlations between enzymatic activities and chemical indicators under each drop of both rotations.
