Abstract

A comparative study of three different tillage systems on traditional and accuracy land leveling duration was carried out on a clayey soil during three successive seasons.
The obtained results revealed that the seedbed preparation system (Chisel plough followed by rotary tiller) recorded the longest land leveling duration and the highest water use efficiency in comparison with rotary tiller and chisel plough twice forward by wooden leveler treatments.
