Effects of different tillage systems on some soil properties, crop yield and time/fuel consumption for sesame

The degradation of soil has become an environmental problem which limits the sustainability of agriculture and decreases soil productivity. The most effective cause of degradation is either over cultivation or the utilization of improper tillage methods. In Turkey, sesame production is done as a second crop in dry or wet conditions after wheat harvest. Farmers generally burn the stubble after harvesting wheat and till the soil under excessive machine traffic. In this study, conventional and conservation tillages was compared in terms of some agricultural mechanization inputs, yield and some physical effects on the soil for second crop sesame after wheat harvesting. The systems consisted of conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage with unstubble (RT) and reduced tillage with stubble (RTS). As a result, the lowest machine usage was determined as 12.99 h ha in reduced with unstubble tillage method. The most machine usage was 16.1 h ha in conventional tillage method. The lowest and highest fuel consumption were 26.4 l h and 35.2 l h with unstubble tillage and conventional tillage methods respectively. The lowest hydraulic conductivity in 5-10 cm, 1520 cm and 25-30 cm was determined in reduced tillage with unstubble method. The highest porosity 5-10 cm, 15-20 cm and 25-30 cm was in conventional tillage method. There was no significantly statistical difference regarding yields for both methods.
