Abstract

This study was carried out to identify the effect of rotary plow and precision land leveling on faba bean response to organic fertilization using the incorporated rice straw into the soil. The experiment was designed statistically as a split plots with three replicates. The main plots involved the rotary plowing treatment levels i.e. rotary plow as a minimum tillage, rotary plow after chisel plow(one pass) and rotary plow after chisel plow(two passes). The sub plots were located for the precision land leveling slope treatment levels i.e. 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03%, comparing with chisel plow(two passes)  followed by traditional land leveling under bereaved of rice straw application. The rotary plow after chisel plow 1 pass followed by 0.02% precision land leveling slope under rice straw application accomplished more desirable soil characteristics, required the lower total applied irrigation water amount, produced higher seed yield and terminated higher water use efficiency.
