Özet
No-till planting of wheat (Triticum durum L.) on ridge after cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) harvest may offer potential benefits in terms of lower production costs, improved soil structure and efficient irrigation. Sowing of wheat on ridge is possible with the devolopment of a suitable planter. A study was conducted to compare the effect of two different planters modified to plant wheat without tillage on ridge after cotton harvest in terms of vertical seed distribution, seeding depth, seedling emergence rate, working speed, field capacity and fuel consumption of planters. The commercial planters used for modification in the study were Ozdoken no-till planter (MORP) and Hassia conventional till planter (MHRP). The experimental results showed that the MORP planter placed 60% of the seeds at the targeted depth of about 4 cm, whereas more than 50% of the seeds were on the soil surface or near the surface and remained uncovered with soil with use of the MHRP planter. Use of the MORP resulted in a more uniform vertical seed distribution, higher emergence rate and higher working speed, field capacity and lower fuel consumption compared with use of the MHRP. The results suggest that the MORP planter may be successfully used to plant wheat on ridge without tillage after cotton.
