| Popis: | Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of residue and tillage on growth and yield of melon. Tillage treatments included conventional tillage (using a moldboard plough and two passes with a disk harrow), minimum tillage (one pass with a disk harrow), and no tillage (NT). Residue treatments included the application of 0%, 30% and 60% residue. Yield and yield components were obtained for all treatments. Tillage significantly affected yield and its components (P ≤ 0.05). The maximum FWPP (2.678 kg), NFPP (6.799), D (18.49 cm), L (45.93 cm), S (12.51%) and RUE (2.470) and yield (16.17 t/ha) were recorded in the conventional tillage treatment. Also, maximum FWPP (2.192 kg), NFPP (5.353), D (16.66 cm), L (39.52 cm) and yield (12.83 t/ha) were observed in the 30% residue treatment. In terms of the interaction effects, maximum FWPP (2.850 kg), NFPP (6.790), D (20.71 cm), L (53.53 cm) and yield (17.09 t/ha) were obtained in the conventional tillage + 30% residue treatment. Therefore, the use of a moldboard plough followed by two passes with a disk harrow, in concert with 30% residue treatment, were maximizing the yield Almost all growth indicators had the optimum values in the conservation tillage treatments. |
