GelişABSTRACT: This study was conducted as a field study to determine the effect of soil moisture content and yield of reduced tillage (RT), direct (D) and traditional (T) the cultivation techniques. The study was conducted in the research area in the Avsar Campus of the Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University throughout the growing season of winter wheat plants in 2014. The study was conducted on a three replication on randomized complete block design. The study was water consumption in without irrigation conditions for winter wheat in the research 321.0 mm, whereas according the irrigation time planning the amount of irrigation water of plant 501.2 mm. Moisture content were found higher between planting techniques in the first time period of growth in the 0-30 cm layer of the soil. This difference decreased to the harvest and also D, RT and T respectively, 15.6%, 15.4% and 15.3%. D, RT and T techniques demonstrated in the form of a ranking from small to large the soil humidity levels 30-60 and 60-90 cm of soil depth. However, this value was closer than the 0-30 cm soil layer. In the harvest were the moisture values in 30-60 cm soil layer in D, RT and T respectively, 15.9%, 15.9% and 15.6%, also in the 60-90 cm soil layer moisture values D, RT and T respectively, 16.40%, 16:2% and 16:1%. The harvest humidity was higher 30-60 cm and 60-90 cm according to 0-30 cm layer. The effect of tillage techniques on spike length was found 5% probability level to be statistically significant. It were measured the longest spike length in the D, RT and T, respectively, 7.9, 7.8 and 7.4 cm. Plant height, thousand grain weight, spikelet number per spike, number of grains per spike, total yield, straw yield, harvest index and grain moisture were non-significant differences statistically between tillage techniques in the variation analyzed but the results of D technique was higher.

Dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de su, en fazla tarım sektöründe (%73) kullanılmaktadır (Anonim, 2015). En fazla su kayıplarının tarımda olması nedeniyle en fazla su tasarrufu da sulamada yapılmalıdır. Sulamadan beklenen yararı sağlayabilmek için temel koşul, bitkinin ihtiyaç duyduğu miktardaki suyun yağışlarla karşılanamayan bölümünün toprakta bitkinin kök bölgesine gereken zamanda ve gereken miktarda verilmesidir (Biber ve Kara, 2006). Toprak neminin korunması ve bitki kök bölgesinde suyun daha uzun
