Abstract:

Experimental data are presented on the response to tillage practices of sorghum, cotton and wheat crops grown under dryland farming conditions. The data are analyzed and evaluated in the ligh of the crops' to soil water conservation as affected by tillage practices.

More water was found stored in the soil profile at the end of the rainy season under deeply plowed than under shallowly-tilled or non-tilled plots. The extra amount of water thus conserved was effective in increasing yields with sorghum but not with cotton.

A set of practical recommendations is proposed, to help farmers and extension service personnel in making their decisions for optimizing crop yield under dryland farming systems.
