Özet
The objective of this study was to examine tillage effects and energy efficiencies of subsoiling and direct seeding on yield of second crop corn (Zea mays L.) for silage in light soil of Odemis located in the western part of Turkey. In this research, tillage and direct seeding were applied in dry and wet soil conditions after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) harvesting in the years 2002 and 2003. The effects of conventional tillage method, reduced tillage methods that include one and cross pass subsoiling, and direct seeding applications on corn yield were examined. In the experiment, a regular four-row corn planter was used. Tillage speed, slip, fuel consumptions, seedling emergence, plant height, and yield were measured. From the data, total energy requirement and effectiveness of each method were calculated.
