Abstract
Wheat production holds an important place in Turkish agriculture and is the most important crop in the Van region.
. Despite the extensive wheat-growing areas in the region, the wheat yield per decare is low. The main reasons for this low yield are the soil characteristics, the scarcity of annual rainfall, and thereby the lack of moisture in the soil. The annual İ'ainfall in Van is 380 mm and its distribution according to seasons is irregular. Therefore, fırst and foremost, it is only possible to obtain more yield per uİıit area by
· holding more rainfall in the soil as well as ensuring other yield-in creasing factors. At present, there are three ypes of seeding practiced in the region: The Hand Spreading (or Broadcasting) Method, the · Seeding by Seeders (Normal Drilling) and the Tir' Seeding Method. The Hand Spreading and Normal Drilling Methods are carried out in the conventional manner. Here attention ·wrn be focused on the Tir' or Deep Furrow Seeding Method.
