A research was carried out to evaluate the effect of winter wheat plant residues on the content of productive moisture and on the soil structure and physical state under different tillage in the Steppe Crimea. A reliable moisture accumulation (115 mm in a meter soil layer) was revealed at the experimental plots where no-till was applied. The quality of soil structure under both farming systems (no-till and traditional one) can be assessed as an excellent one. Values are in the range of 78.0-81.3%. The coefficient of soil structure is in optimal values and averages 4.3.
