The effect of different tillage methods on grains quality of soybean under different weather conditions

In the northeastern Croatia mainly use conventional tillage to soybean production. Such a tillage system requires a high energy input and may also causes water loss and long-term soil physical degradation. The aim of this study was to assess tillage methods which are able to maintain high soybean yield and satisfactory grain quality properties, based on differences in oil content, protein content, crude fibre % and ash % under different weather conditions. For this purpose four tillage treatments (CT: Conventional tillage ; DH: Disc harrowing (fine till) ; CH: Chisel ploughing ; NT: No-tillage) were studied during four years (2002-2005) in the Baranya region of northeastern Croatia. The soybean oil, protein content, crude fibre content, ash content, plant density and grain yield were under very significant influenced of weather conditions and soil tillage treatments.
