Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the quality and yield of wheat when the partially shallow tilling and sowing (PSTS) method was used, and to survey the amount of time and fuel consumed in working. The results showed that PSTS method produced slightly higher yield of wheat grain than the usual method, and that both the bulk density and protein content of wheat in PSTS method increased compared with those of the grain in the usual method. In addition, it became clear that PSTS method could considerably reduce labor time and fuel consumption while working in tilling and sowing.
