“…Our results concur with previous studies in the Canadian Prairie reporting no significant tillage-by-rotation interaction on wheat yields (Lafond et al 1992;Lindwall et al 1995;Hao et al 2001). However, Norwood (1994) reported significant tillage-by-rotation interaction effects on winter wheat and sorghum yields in 2 of 6 yr in Kansas.…”

Soon, Y. K. and Clayton, G. W. 2002. Eight years of crop rotation and tillage effects on crop production and N fertilizer use. Can. J. Soil Sci. 82: 165-172. Although tillage systems and crop rotations can affect crop production and uptake of nutrients, their long-term effects, particularly their interactions, are not well-documented. Therefore, we measured the N, P, and K contents and yields of crops through two rotation cycles, especially wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), of four crop rotations managed under conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT) systems. The study was conducted 1993 through 2000 on a sandy loam soil in northwestern Alberta, Canada. The four-course crop rotations were: (i) field pea (Pisum sativum L.)-wheat-canola (Brassica rapa L.)-wheat; (ii) red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) green manure-wheat-canola-wheat; (iii) fallow-wheat-canola-wheat, and (iv) continuous wheat (CW). The crops were fertilized using regional recommendations based on soil test results. Previous crop effect on wheat yield was in the order: field pea = red clover green manure > fallow > canola > wheat (CW); it had little influence on N, P or K content in wheat grain or straw. There was no interaction of tillage with crop rotation on wheat production or nutrient content. Tillage treatments affected neither production of other rotation crops nor their nutrient concentrations. During the second rotation cycle, N fertilizer requirement decreased, and wheat yield was 22% higher, under NT as compared to CT. This study showed that (i) field pea is an attractive replacement for red clover green manure; and (ii) recommendations for N from soil test results should factor in the type of tillage system used. )-blé-canola-blé, iii) jachère-blé-canola-blé et iv) monoculture du blé (MB). Les cultures ont été fertilisées conformément aux recommandations formulées pour la région, après analyse du sol. La culture antérieure a les effets suivants sur le rendement du blé : pois de grande culture = engrais vert de trèfle rouge > jachère > canola > blé (MB). Elle exerce peu d'influence sur la concentration de N, de P ou de K dans le grain ou la paille de blé. Le travail du sol n'interagit pas avec l'assolement pour modifier le rendement du blé ou la concentration d'éléments nutritifs. Le régime de travail du sol n'affecte pas le rendement des autres cultures du système de rotation ni leur teneur en éléments nutritifs. La quantité d'engrais azoté requise a diminué lors du deuxième cycle tandis que le rendement du blé a augmenté de 22 % pour le régime NT, comparativement au régime TC. L'étude révèle i) que le pois de plein champ est une culture de remplacement intéressante pour l'engrais vert de trèfle rouge et ii) que les recommandations relatives à l'application d'engrais azoté reposant sur l'analyse du sol devraient tenir compte du système de travail de sol en usage.

“…the main question is how to produce maize grain cheaper because grain drying requires high energy input and increases production costs. one of the resorts is to economize fuel and labour power consumption by reducing soil tillage because it often had insignificant influence on the yield of many crops (Håkansson et al, 1998;Hao et al, 2001). Similar results were obtained in Lithuania too.…”

A long-term field experiment (since 1988) was carried out at the experimental station of the Aleksandras stulginskis university (Asu, 54º52′ N, 23º49′ e) in the conditions of transitional maritime-climate. Research data from the 2010-2012 experimental period are presented. the soil of the experimental site is silty light loam Endohypogleyic-Eutric Planosol (PLe-gln-w). Average annual temperature is 6.2°c. the aim of the experiment was to establish the influence of reduced primary autumn soil tillage on maize productivity. the treatments of the experiment were: 1) conventionally (22-25 cm) ploughed by a mouldboard plough, 2) shallowly (12-15 cm) ploughed by a mouldboard plough, 3) deeply (25-30 cm) tilled by a chisel cultivator, 4) shallowly (10-12 cm) tilled by a disc harrow, 5) no-till. the experimental results showed that all primary soil tillage methods (except for chiselling) normally had insignificant effect on maize biometric parameters. Deep chiselling had consistent negative influence on the biometric parameters of maize canopy, while no no-till effect was insignificantly positive. maize crop biometric parameters partially depended on weed infestation at the beginning and the end of maize vegetation. in two out of three experimental years, maize crop density at the beginning and end of vegetation did not differ significantly in differently tilled plots. A relationship was found between the number of annual as well as total number of weeds and crop density at the beginning of vegetation (r = −0.926** and −0.948**). crop density at the beginning of vegetation had significant positive effect on most maize productivity parameters. Reduced soil tillage from shallow ploughing to no-till had total positive effect on maize productivity in 2011 only because of the lower weed infestation. Relationships were established between weed infestation and maize crop productivity parameters (correlation coefficients from −0.394 to −0.965**). Productivity parameters were influenced by biometric parameters too (correlation coefficients from 0.713** to 0.920**).

“…But grain yield was higher for CT than RT. Hao et al (2001) reported that higher grain yield was obtained in CT than minimum tillage for chickpea. Chickpea grain yield was higher for CT than no-till (Lopez-Bellido et al, 2004a).…”

To cite this paper: Kayan, N., İ. Kutlu, N.G. Ayter and M.S. Adak, 2017. Effects of different tillage systems and soil residual nitrogen on chickpea yield and yield components in rotation with wheat under dry farming areas. AbstractThe aims of this study were to determine how the tillage system and residual N of soil affected chickpea yield and its trait in rotation with wheat under Central Anatolia Region. In this study, two tillage methods viz. conventional and reduced tillage, three crop rotations; wheat-wheat; wheat-fallow; wheat-chickpea and four N levels of 0, 50, 100, 150 kg ha -1 were evaluated for four years duration (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). Tillage methods were maintained into main plots, crop rotation into subplots and N levels into sub-sub plots. Only chickpea in continuous rotation with wheat was examined in this study. The results were evaluated according to split plot design with three replicates. Grain yield was higher under conventional tillage (CT) than reduced tillage (RT) in both of the growing seasons. Some important yield components were higher under RT than CT especially in the second growing season. These differences of tillage methods may also be due to climatic conditions. Residual fertilizer N significantly affected chickpea grain yield which increased with 100 and 150 kg N ha -1 levels. Results also indicated that; conventional tillage may be more appropriate for chickpea in rotation with wheat. Chickpea grain yield was also affected when N fertilizer applied to wheat.
