Raoufat * Department of Farm Machinery Engineering, College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Received 23 April 2007; received in revised form 28 September 2007; accepted 2 October 2007 Abstract Poor corn (Zea mays) stand establishment in the presence of surface plant residue in conservation tillage may reduce yield potential and thus limits the adoption of the method by farmers. A study was conducted to compare the effects of three tillage systems and three types of planter attachment on the amount of surface and subsurface residues after planting, emergence rate index, seed spacing indices and seeding depth of corn in a soil covered with previous wheat (Triticum aestivum) residues. Tillage treatments were single pass of disc harrow, three passes of disc harrow, and single pass of disc harrow followed by chisel plowing. Corn was planted with a planter equipped with either a plain rolling coulter, a row cleaner or a combination of row cleaner followed by plain rolling coulter. Tillage treatments did not show any significant effect on measured variables except seeding depth. Seeding depth was highest and the most uniform for the planter prepared with three passes of disc harrow. No interaction on measured variables was observed among treatments incorporating tillage modes and planter attachments. Row cleaner and row cleaner followed by rolling coulter retained less surface residue as compared to coulter attachm
