Abstract

In this study, the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for soybean cultivated in Adana province according to conventional tillage practices for chisel tillage with stubble burning (CT), and conservational tillage practices with stubble for disc tillage (DT), rotary tillage (RT) and direct seeding (DS) were determined. Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emission measurements were started after tillage using a portable CO2 measurement system and were carried out at various intervals over a period of 55 days.
