a long-term rotation experiment was established in 2001 to compare conservation or reduced tillage systems (shallow rototiller and chisel tillage) with conventional tillage system using mouldboard plough in a semi-arid region with mediterranean climate. field experiments were conducted to determine weed density and profitability of cropping systems in a crop rotation of winter wheat (triticum a...

effects of different tillage systems on dispersion ratio, status of aggregation, degree of aggregation, mean weight diameter, geometric diameter, the rain-fed wheat yield and the yield components were investigated by a field trial using a completely randomized block design with five treatments in four replicates during 2009-2010 growing season at gorgan university of agricultural science and na...

Best nitrogen management practices are the pre-requisite to warrant high maize yield. Thus, experiments were conducted to study the “effect of tillage and split application of nitrogen on hybrid maize” under semi-arid conditions of Pakistan, during fall 2008 and 2009. The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design with split-plot arrangement, replicated three times in a net p...

A series of field experiments was conducted at BARI central farm to observe the changes in soil densities, moisture retentive properties, and crop productivity as influenced by different tillage depths and cropping patterns. The tillage depth showed significant effect on wheat yield. Grain yield of wheat significantly increased from 2.86 t/ha (minimum tillage depth) to 5.33 t/ha (tillage depth ...

The paper presents comparison of three soil tillage systems in maize, winter wheat and soybean growing on anthropogenic Albic Luvisol in north-west Slavonia, Croatia, during 1996-1999. Tillage systems and implements were: 1. conventional system (CT)-plough, disc-harrow and combined implement, 2. conservation system (RT)-chisel plough and multitiller, 3. no-till system (NT). The aim of testing w...

This study was devoted to verifying the performance of various configurations a winged chisel plough (WCP) in soil bin. The new tool assessed at three wing depths (5, 10 and 15 cm), bend angles (10, 20 30 °), rake (7.5, 22.5 °) with replications using completely randomised design constant depth speed cm 1 m·s–1, respectively. draught vertical forces, disturbed upheaved areas plus efficiency loo...

the conservation system is one of the proper methods avoiding the loss of nutrients, soil erosion, and reduce production costs. this research was examined for studying the influences of tillage systems on the three cotton cultivars at karkandeh and hashm-abad stations in gorgan. the experiments were conducted in a randomized completely block design as split plot with three replications with fiv...

In this paper, remote sensing measurements like apparent electrical conductivity (ECa.) are used to assess soil compaction. In an experiment comparing five tillage treatments and their effect to energy crops soil penetration resistance (SPR) was measured at the same time as ECa. ECa measurements were carried out using EM-38with dipoles at 1m apart and SPR by an electronic penetrometer. The nega...
