Abstract: During wheat-maize whole season, with ten different tillage treatments, the effects of tillage manage-ments on soil physical properties in summer maize season were studied.Compared with silking and mid-filling stage, the soil water content was more largely affected by tillage treatments, and the highest water content in the layer be-tween 0-20 cm was found in A2B2R(No-tillage at either wheat season or at maize season +straw returning),and the highest water content in both 20-40 and 40-60cm were in A1B2R(Rotary tillage at wheat season +direct seeding maize+straw returning ).The average soil temperatures of 0-60 cm at both silking and maturity stage were highest in A3B2R (Subsoiling tillage at wheat season +direct seeding maize+straw returning) and A1B1R(Rotary tillage at both wheat season and maize season +straw returning),and were 0.4-0.6℃higher than that of control ( Rotary tillage at wheat season +direct seeding maize +no straw returning ).The bulk density in the 0-20 cm layer was decreased in treatments A1B2R,A2B2R and A4B2R(Deep tillage at wheat season +direct seeding maize+straw returning),A3B2R,A4B2R,A3B3R and A4B4R obviously decreased the deep layer (40-60 cm ) soil bulk density,especially A3B3R and A4B4R.Therefore,no-tillage at either wheat season or at maize season could decrease the bulk density in the surface layer and increase the water content.However,the deep tillage or subsoiling tillage mainly decreases the deeper soil bulk density, especially deep tillage or subsoiling tillage at both wheat and maize season.

Key words: Subsoiling tillage, Deep tillage, Soil bulk density, Soil wateR content, Soil tempeRatuRe
