Abstract

A split-block experiment of three replications was employed to study the effect of residue management and post-irrigation regimes on wheat yield, water use and cost and benefit of treatments. Three levels of residue management including burning entire crop residue (B), removing part of crop residue and using stalk shredder (R), removing part of crop residue, using stalk shredder and moldboard ploughing (RP), were considered as main plots. Three levels post-irrigation regimes including irrigating 7 days after planting (I7), irrigating 14 days after planting (I14), and irrigating 21 days after planting (I21) were considered as sub plots. Results of economical analysis indicated that proper treatment was RI21 that increased profitability by 1220000 Rial/ha relative to the control treatment.
