dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to determine the effects of 6 different tillage practices on soil physical properties in apricot orchards. In the study; soil cultivation with an on-row hoe engine in the spring and a cultivator between the rows (T1), tillage with an on-row hoe machine and a cultivator in the spring between the rows, and soil tillage with a cultivator in the autumn (T2), zero tillage (T3), mulching with wood sawdust (T4), mulching with wheat stubble (T5) and deep tillage with a mouldboard plow in autumn and cultivator in spring (conventional tillage) (T6) were carried out in an apricot orchard according to random trial blocks of the trial plan. The obtained data were subjected to analysis of variance and multiple comparison test. Statistical results showed that only soil moisture was affected by tillage methods. According to these data, the highest soil bulk density (1.63 g cm-3) was obtained in the T3 treatment at a soil depth of 10-20 cm. The highest porosity (0.46) was also observed in T3 treatment. The T1 treatment had the highest moisture content (27.21%) while the lowest penetration resistance (1.75 MPa) was measured in T4 treatment.
