Effects Of Minimum And Conventional Tillage Systems On Soil Properties And Yield Of Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) In Clay-Loam In The Çanakkale Region, Saki̇ne Özpinar, Anil Çay
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The experiment was conducted during the 2001-2003 cropping period to evaluate the effects of 3 tillage systems, conventional tillage (CT), and minimum tillage with rototiller (MTR) and disc (MTD), on the soil properties and wheat yield (Triticum aestivum L.). Based on 2-year results, soil bulk density at 0-10 cm in the growing period in MTR, CT and MTD was 1.20, 1.34 and 1.24 Mg m^{-3} respectively. Corresponding values at 10-20 and 20-30 cm were 1.26, 1.29 and 1.21 Mg m^{-3} and 1.30, 1.27 and 1.40 Mg m^{-3} respectively. Aggregate size distribution and mean weight diameter throughout the 2 years of …
