Özet
Aegean region is one of the most important regions for both cotton production and cotton quality in Turkey.Recently, increasing cost in cotton forces farmers to seek new techniques in tillage operations.So, they start to use different tillage systems especially reduced tillage in cotton production.In this study, reduced tillage systems and direct seeding technique in second crop cotton production were examined for two years to compare with the conventional system.The effect of tillage systems on the soil physical properties and effectiveness of the methods were evaluated along with the yield of cotton.
