this study was designed to investigate the effects of different tillage systems on some parameters such as soil salinity (ph, ec, sar), soil density and nutrients in a nested experimental design with three treatments (no tillage, reduced tillage and conventional tillage) and three replications. chenaran city fields were selected as the case study areas. result of the statistical analysis indica...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term reduced tillage on yield and weeds of spring barley. treatments consisted of three tillage systems including: (a) conventional tillage (ct), (b) reduced tillage (rt), and (c) herbicide tillage (ht) as the main plot, and two cultivars of spring barley (tocada and rastik) as subplots. the results showed that the yield of both cultivars...

Rapeseed as one the most crops is the basic needs of human feeding in order to produce oil. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different tillage system, seeding method and rates on yield and its components, as well as, seed oil percentage of rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. Hyola-401) during 2011-12 growing season at Rice Research Institute of Iran-Department of Ma...

this research delves into investigating the effects of different soil management practices on soil physical properties, yield and yield’s components of irrigated wheat. this experimental design was administered in the form of the nested testing with three treatments (no tillage, low tillage and conventional tillage) and three replicates in some of the farmlands of chenran township. the results ...

background and objectives: suitable tillage methods and planting cover crops are such factors in sustainable agricultural systems, which play an important role in the sustainability of agricultural production systems. minimum and no-tillage systems methods that leave instead of usually more than 30 percent of crop residue on the soil surface, are used to reduce soil erosion, improve soil physic...

the challenge for today's researchers and practitioners agriculture, increase productivity while maintaining or improving environmental quality (including water, soil and air) to be ¬ rapid population growth and increasing demand for food, researchers are continuing to study the management of high yielding varieties suitable for growing to escape environmental stresses in dry conditions an...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds are susceptible to low temperature and excess moisture in soil during seed emergence in years with high rainfall and low temperature in spring. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was carried out to evaluate effects of ridge tillage formed in autumn (RT-I), ridge tillage formed about a month before planting (RT-II) and flat conventional tillage (CT) culti...

This study was aimed at analyzing the yield, grain quality and weed infestation of spring triticale sown in 3 tillage systems: a) conventional tillage (CT)-shallow ploughing and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing in the autumn; b) reduced tillage (RT)-only cultivator after harvest of the previous crop, and c) no-tillage (NT)-only glyphosate (360 g L-1) after harvest of ...
