Micronutrient availability to cereals from calcareous soils. VII. Mechanism of higher wheat production by tillage methods

The mechanism of higher grain production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by four tillage methods was explored on a sandy calcareous soil of Sahl-Al Jafara, Libya, during the year 1976-77. Tillage methods increased grain yield and dry matter weight at the boot stage in the order of no-tillage < ro...

Zusammenfassung:The mechanism of higher grain production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by four tillage methods was explored on a sandy calcareous soil of Sahl-Al Jafara, Libya, during the year 1976-77. Tillage methods increased grain yield and dry matter weight at the boot stage in the order of no-tillage < rotovator = disc plough < subsoiler. Rotovation to 15 cm and disc ploughing to 25 cm depth enhanced grain production mainly by eliminating weed competition. In both the cases, roots penetrated
