Technical Comparison of Different Sowing Methods and Irrigation in Wheat Cultivation

This research was made in the Adana-Hacali location between 2015 (November) and 2016 (June). Trials was established according to Randomised Complete Block split parcel experiment design with 4 replications. Ceyhan-99 bread wheat variety was used as seed material. Flat Planting, Bed Planting (3 lines per bed), Broad Ridge Sowing (8 lines per ridge) was three planting methods tested in this research. The sowing norm was relazied as 450 pcs/m2 in all sowing methods. Irrigation was carried out twice while stem extension and dough period in wheat farming. Plant height (cm), spike length (cm), biological yield (kg/da), stem yield (kg/da) and grain yield (kg/da) were investigated when wheat reached the harvesting stage. There was a statistically significant difference in the level of importance of 1% on the basis of plant height and spike length criteria. Biological, stem and grain yields were found to be statistically significant at the 1% significance level, both on the sowing methods and on the subject basis (irrigated - non irrigated). Differences from the resultant were subjected to LSD test and grouped. According to the results of grain yield in irrigated wheat was obtained more yield 326,66 kg/da in flat sowing method, 267,46 kg/da in ridge sowing method and 140,91 kg/da in broad ridge sowing method
