Comparison of different tillage and sowing systems in terms of technical and economical on the wheat production

This study has been performed to compare conservation tillage and sowing systems on the way of technical and economical that is used for growing the wheat in 2007. The study has been carried out on the lands of Çukurova Agricultural Research Institute Directorate Hacıali Undertaking. On conservation tillage and cultivation systems; the minimum tillage, ridge tillage and direct sowing techniques were practiced. The systems were examined and analyzed in terms of the fuel and time consumptions, working efficiency, the percentage of emergence, germination rate index, germination period of plant, soil moisture content, porosity, bulk density, yield, biological yield, straw yield, height of plant, 1000 kernel weight, harvest index, number of spike, and hectoliter weight.As a result of evaluation, while the maximum efficiency on wheat production has been got on the minimum tillage technique; the minimum efficiency has been got on the two rows of bed planting systems. The minimum performance on fuel consumption and the maximum working efficiency have been got on direct sowing. They have saved time and working efficiency at the rate of 81-86 % by the helping of direct sowing.
