Wheat Response to No-Tillage and Nitrogen Fertilization in a Long-Term Faba Bean-Based Rotation

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in Southern Italy to study the response of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) grain yield and quality traits to a no-tillage (NT) system and different nitrogen N fertilizer rates (30, 60, and 90 kg N ha −1 ). The NT system was evaluated and compared to conventional (CT) and reduced (RT) tillage within continuous wheat (WW) and faba bean-wheat (FW) crop sequences over 3-years (2010-2012). The results showed a promising grain yield increase (30%) in the last year. The … Show more

“…The wheat grain yield and quality are also affected by the plants' sequence in crop rotation [6][7][8][9]. The best yield-forming results are obtained with legumes used as the previous crop [8,[10][11][12]. However, most often, wheat is sown after cereals, which promotes the growth of weeds [13][14][15][16], and the development of take-all diseases [17].…”

“…In addition, faba bean belongs to the group of plants classified as nitrogen-fixing plants. Therefore, this species contributes to sustainable agriculture by maintaining and improving soil fertility and playing a key role in crop rotation [6,7].…”

“…In the NT plots, the weeds were sprayed with glyphosate at a dose of 4.8 liters per hectare. In the CT plots (MT and NT), all the dead weeds and previous crop residue were used as mulch to cover the soil surface, while in the IT plots, all the weeds and previous crop residue were removed from the plots [10,11,12]. The nitrogen source for the N treatment was 46% urea.…”

“…The initial data on the physical and chemical properties of the studied soils were available only for the soil surface layer as thick as 20 cm (Table 1). The chemical properties of the soil for 1994 were obtained from Utomo [17,18], and the bulk density of the soil for 1987 was obtained from Utomo [19,20,21]. Data were analyzed by T-test.…”
