Limited tillage systems, especially no-tillage, have become widespread in recent years. The no-tillage practice is widely adopted worldwide for erosion control and to maintain soil fertility. Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of tillage systems and organic fertilization on the growth, yield and oil content of flax crop (Linum usitatissimum L.). The experiments, conducted during 2009 and 2010, were laid out in a split plot design with four replicates, three main plots (conventional tillage, minimum tillage and no-tillage) and the three sub-plots (compost, vetch and faba bean as green manure). The soil organic matter and total nitrogen were higher in soils subjected to conservation tillage systems (minimum and no-tillage) than under conventional tillage. The highest leaf area index (LAI), dry weight and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) root colonization was found in conservation tillage systems. There were no significant differences between the organic fertilization treatments concerning the LAI, dry weight and AM root colonization. There were significant differences for root growth between the tillage systems. The highest root weight was found in the no-tillage system. Moreover, the highest seed yield (1761 kg ha-1) and oil yield (670 kg ha-1) were found with minimum tillage. There were statistically significant differences between minimum tillage and conventional tillage. Vetch and faba bean green manures had a significant effect on oil content. A high correlation was observed between oil yield and oil content. Our results indicated that conservation tillage systems enhance organic matter in soils and increase oil yield of flax. |
