Considering the food security of the increasing world population, it is extremely important to create
sustainable agricultural production systems that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are resistant to and sensitive
to climate change, prevent erosion, and protect the soil. In the strip tillage method, which is one of the conservation
tillage methods, 30%-40% of the field surface is allowed to be tilled in a strip form before planting for seed bed
preparation. The soil between seed planting rows are left no-tilled, covered with stubble. The research was carried
out in a trial field in the Ceyhan Plain of the Çukurova Region between 2023-2024. In the research, the
conventional tillage method (CT) and the strip tillage (ST) methods were compared in terms of cotton yield. Field
trials were arranged with 4 replicates. The cotton variety used in the research was Ceyhan 520 and its thousandgrain weight was 105 g. As a result of the research, with an average yield of 427,5 kg/da, higher cotton yield was
obtained than conventional soil tillage, and the strip tillage yield were an average of 417,5 kg/da. When the
conventional tillage and strip tillage methods were compared, no statistically significant difference was found in
terms of the cotton yield (P˂0.05). Therefore, since the yield results of the two methods are close to each other, it
is recommended to prefer the strip tillage method, which is a conservation and sustainable method, as an alternative
to conventional tillage.
