Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This research was carried out from 1993 through 1995 for a two-year period in dry farming areas of Haymana/Ankara. The aim of the research was to determine the available water content of the 0-60 and 0-90 cm soil depth layers for wheat after fallow periods and after winter and spring crops of lentils under two different soil tillage treatments. According to the experimental results, the highest available water content was measured in fallow plots (28.6% (rototiller 0-60 cm) and 94.6% plough 0-90 cm). The available water contents were found to be -14.9% (plough 0-60 cm) and 14.8% (rototiller 0-90 cm) …
