Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield and chemical composition of triticalegrain in different crop rotation and tillage systems. The first experimental factor was thecropping system – a) crop rotation and b) monoculture and the second factor was the tillagesystem – 1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3) no-tillage (NT). The spring triticale yieldwas found to be 15.4% higher for crop rotation than for monoculture and 19.4-22.4% higher inCT than in RT and NT. Crop rotation also increased the content of starch in the grain, as well asthat of phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe), with respect to monoculture. Triticale grainfrom the CT plots contained more starch, magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) thangrain from RT and NT. Crude fibre content, however, was higher in the grain harvested fromthe monoculture than in the case of crop rotation. Higher fibre content was also noted in thegrain from NT and RT than from CT.

Effects of a 3-year reduced tillage on the yield and quality of grain and weed infestation of spring triticale (Triticosecale Wittmack)

This study was aimed at analyzing the yield, grain quality and weed infestation of spring triticale sown in 3 tillage systems: a) conventional tillage (CT)-shallow ploughing and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing in the autumn; b) reduced tillage (RT)-only cultivator after harvest of the previous crop, and c) no-tillage (NT)-only glyphosate (360 g L-1) after harvest of ...

Cropping systems, tillage and fertilization strategies for durum wheat performance and soil properties

Many sustainable agronomical practices can be adopted to contain environmental risks of crop production and, at the same time, sustain yield and quality. In this framework, the aim of this research was to study the effects of continuous cropping (CC) and crop rotation, tillage and fertilization strategies on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production. The responses of soil properties we...
