Abstract

Abstract Because of different climatical conditions during the growing season from those of reported experiments in literature and the relatively few data about annual cropped winter‐grown wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yield response to depth of tillage and to incorporation of previously broadcasted P‐fertilizer, a 2‐year field trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of three tillage depths, 10, 20, and 40 cm; and three P‐fertilizer rates on grain yields and dry matter production. The three P‐fertilizer rates were: no P‐fertilizer, 12 kg P/ha per 10 cm depth of tilled soil, and a flat 60 kg P/ha rate. The field trial had a randomized split plot design with four replications and was simultaneously conducted on two soils of different texture. Grain yields, dry matter production, and P‐uptake over 2 years were not influenced by depths of tillage. Initial development of wheat plants was better on shallow tilled soil. Added P‐fertilizer markedly increased grain yields, dry matter production, and P‐uptake. P‐fertilizer rates based on volume of tilled soil were as effective as the flat P‐fertilizer rate. Dry matter production response to P‐fertilizer was influenced by soil texture, indicating limiting P‐availability with decreasing clay content of soil. From the data obtained it can be concluded that increasing depth of tillage has no significant effect on annual cropped winter‐grown wheat yields and secondly that there is no need to incorporate P‐fertilizer deeper than the top soil layer of 10 cm. Therefore, if plowing a wheat stubble becomes necessary, P‐fertilizer rate can be based on the P‐availability of the sampled top soil layer after plowing and adjusted to the depth of the planned seedbed preparation to keep P‐availability at the recommended level for wheat growing.
