A two year-field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of three tillage treatments and three intra-row compaction levels on physical properties of seedbed and red lentil emergence in dry soil condition. The tillage treatments were: (1) conventional tillage (moldboard plow + disk harrow + float CT); (2) reduced tillage 1 (horizontal axis rotary tiller - RT1); (3) reduced tillage 2 (vertical axis rotary tiller with roller - RT2). Intra-row compaction levels were: (1) no compaction (CO), (2)60 kPa compaction (C1) and (3) 90 kPa compaction (C2).
