Abstract

         This study carried out in RCBD with 6 treatments and 3 replication in dry land agricultural research institute during 4 years (2003-2007). In automn tillage treatments and in spring sowing of seeds were completed. Treatments were: T1= Sweep in fall + planting by seed drill in spring, T2= Removing stubble in fall + direct planting by seed drill in spring, T3= Semi-moldboard plow in fall + disk harrow and planting by seed drill in spring, T4= Chisel plow in fall + disk harrow and planting by seed drill in spring, T5= Fertilizer and seed broadcasting by hand and moldboard plow in spring, T6= Chisel plow in fall + fertilizer and seed broadcasting by hand and disk harrow in spring. The results showed that wet and dry forage yields were different among treatments, T4 with 5393 and 3190 kg/ha had the highest forage yield and T5 with 4643 and 2646 kg/ha had the lowest forage yield. This trend was abserved in stubble and grain yield T4 with 3245 and 1121 kg/ha had highest yield and T5 with 2749 and 707 kg/ha had lowest yield. The effect of year on wet and dry forage and grain yields was significantly different (1%) but the intraction of year on treatments was not significant. soil moisture was differ among treatments. moistuer comparison in 3 soil depths showed that T4 treatment was better than other treatments and had 24.90, 26.67 and 28.04 persent soil moisture and T6 treatment had 18.92, 19.18 and 20.87% soil moisture.
