Effect of plowing depth on water requirement, draft force and soybean yield at Etay El Baroud region
Abstract: According to the co-operation between Agricultural Engineering Research Institute and Etay El Baroud Agricultural Research Station (Zarzora), an extension experiment was conducted at Etay El-Baroud to plant soybean crop mechanically during 2002/2003 season. The aim of this experiment is to optimum tillage depth and water requirement for maximum soybean yield at this region. The experimental area was 2 feddan and the soil was clay texture. Four levels of ploughing depth of 6, 8, 10 and 12 cm and were considered by using a chisel plough. The water requirement, water use efficiency and draft were determined for each depth. The maximum yield and water use efficiency were 1.028 ton/fed and 0.44 kg/m3at 8 cm depth, the power requirement for this depth was 13.6 kW. An empirical equation was derived to predict the draught according to soil texture, soil condition and tractor operation conditions. Also, a relationship between depth and soil resistance was found.
