The experiment was laid out using a randomized complete block design with split plots arrangement in four replicates. The results showed significant differences (P&lt;0.05) overall studied traits, the mean value of grain yield was highest under CA-system (4530 kg\/ha) compared with CT system (3904 kg\/ha), and under the application of crop rotation (4333 kg\/ha) compared with no crop rotation (4102 kg\/ha). The mean value of grain yield was significantly higher in the cultivar of durum wheat ACSAD1229 (4349 kg\/ha) compared with bread wheat cultivar ACSAD1133 (4086 kg\/ha). The statistical analysis results indicated significant differences in water use efficiency (WUE) among conservation and traditional cultivation systems, where the CA-system surpassed in WUE (12.79 kg\/mm rainfall\/season) over the CT-system (11.02 kg\/mm rainfall\/season), the mean gross income and net income higher under CA-system (838050, 728050 SP respectively) compared to CT-system (722240, 587240 SP respectively), with reduction percentage in the cost of cultivation (20%). Application of CA-system recorded a significant increase in soil content of organic matter, mineral nitrogen, and available phosphorus (1.240 %, 11.67 mg\/kg soil, 21.79mg\/kg soil respectively) compared with CT-system (1.182 %, 10.47 mg\/kg soil, 19.35mg\/kg soil respectively). These results confirm the importance of the application CA-system as a complete package in order to have CA-application benefits which had useful effects in improving wheat productivity under rainfed conditions and improving soil chemical properties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Wheat, Conservation agriculture (CA), Conventional tillage (CT),Grain yield, Soil properties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full paper in Arabic:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/c5.pdf\">pdf<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hussain Almahasneh*(1) and Jamal Saleh(1) (1) Plant Resources Department, ACSAD, P.O, Syria.
