Mung bean (Vigna radita L.) and Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were cultivated in 3 crop rotation cycles 2017-2018. The experiment was designed with Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates to study three tillage depth treatments (I)No tillage(NT), (II)Minimum tillage 0-15cm (MT), and (III) Conventional tillage 0-30 cm(CT). The results showed that soil bulk density values increased with increasing tillage depth Where the percentage of increase in the bulk density was 5.67% for the treatment of conventional tillage. While the stability rates of soil aggregate were decreased with increasing tillage depth, increasing tillage depth led to decreased soil organic carbon content and an increase in available water amount with less tillage depth. Grain yield was increasing with minimizing tillage depth. Also, the production of agricultural land increased with reducing tillage depth the increase rate was 12% for NT treatment, 6.4% for MT treatment, and 2% for CT treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words: <\/strong>Tillage depth , Soil Characteristics, productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v10n6p20.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ameerah H.Atiyah(1)* Adnan S.Falih(1)Raied H.Mohammad(1) \u00a0and Tarq J.Jalud(1) (1).
