in order to evaluate the influence of different tillage methods and autumn pea cultivars (arman, hashem, ilc-482) in first cultivation on corn forage yield (variety of single cross-704) in second cultivation, this research has been done. the experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd with the replication of 4 in tehran university from karaj in 2012. the main plots included different tillage...

this study was undertaken to investigate the effect of long-term reduced tillage on grain yield, grain quality, and weed infestation of spring wheat. the experimental variables were three tillage systems: (a) conventional tillage (ct): shallow ploughing (10-12 cm) and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing (25-30 cm) in the autumn; (b) reduced tillage (rt): only a cultivator (1...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of crop rotation and various tillage systems onthe chemical and biological properties of soil in the years 2013-2015. The first order factorincluded cropping systems: a) crop rotation (pea – winter wheat – spring wheat) and b)monoculture of winter wheat, whereas the second order factor were tillage systems:1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3...

this study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

on-farm experiments were designed to investigate the response of maize establishment and grain yield to variation in tillage systems. the tillage treatments included arara ploughing followed by zig-zag harrowing and arara ridging (t1); emcot ploughing fol-lowed by zig-zag harrowing and emcot ridging (t2); mouldboard ploughing followed by disc harrowing and mouldboard ridging (t3); disc ploughin...

A field study was conducted to assess the effects of soil tillage practices and straw management on soil CO2, and yield-scaled CO2 emissions in a rain-fed summer corn field on the Loess Plateau. Tillage treatments consisted of sub-soiling tillage (CP), no tillage (NT) and moldboard plow tillage (CT). Wheat straw was removed from half of the CP, NT and CT plots after harvest, allowing us to test...

Integrated nutrient management (INM) under reduced tillage practices improve soil properties and plant nitrogen (N) dynamics. The effects of urea, farmyard manure (FYM) and soybean residue (SR) under different tillage systems were evaluated in 2-year field experiments for N translocation and translocation efficiencies. Tillage systems included minimum (MT), conventional (CT) and deep (DT) tilla...

the erosion in dryland caused decrease in yield and soil quality, especially in slope land with conventional tillage. to investigate effect of tillage and planting methods in slope land on erosion and yield of dryland wheat, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at kermanshah province. the statistical design for this research was strip split plots in rcb (randomized complete blocks) with three re...
