The Effect of Strip Tillage Method Applied in Cotton Cultivation in Ceyhan Plain on Yield

Abstract

Considering the food security of the increasing world population, it is extremely important to create sustainable agricultural production systems that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are resistant to and sensitive to climate change, prevent erosion, and protect the soil. In the strip tillage method, which is one of the conservation tillage methods, 30%-40% of the field surface is allowed to be tilled in a strip form before planting for seed bed preparation. The soil between seed planting rows are left no-tilled, covered with stubble. The research was carried out in a trial field in the Ceyhan Plain of the Çukurova Region between 2023-2024. In the research, the conventional tillage method (CT) and the strip tillage (ST) methods were compared in terms of cotton yield. Field trials were arranged with 4 replicates. The cotton variety used in the research was Ceyhan 520 and its thousand-grain weight was 105 g. As a result of the research, higher cotton yield was obtained with an average yield of 427.5 kg/da compared to the conventional tillage method with strip tillage. The yield in the strip tillage method was 417.5 kg/da on average. When the conventional tillage and strip tillage methods were compared, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the cotton yield (P˂0.05). Therefore, since the yield results of the two methods are close to each other, it is recommended to prefer the strip tillage method, which is a conservation and sustainable method, as an alternative to conventional tillage.
