The study was conducted during two summer seasons (2012 and 2013) under Mediterranean area conditions (South of Turkey) to determine the effect of four tillage system (conventional tillage (T-1) "Plough + disc harrowing + float + pneumatic seeding machine", reduced tillage I (T-2) "rotovator + float + pneumatic seeding machine", reduced tillage II (T-3) "rotary tiller combination + pneumatic seeding machine" and no tillage (T-4) "seeding by direct seeding machine") on the soil physical properties in the area. The soil of the experimental parcel was classified as silty. There was no significant different statistically among soil porosities of tillage systems in all depths at after tillage and harvesting operation. For variation though conversation tillage methods, tillage methods X measuring time, tillage methods X depth and tillage methods X measuring time X depth interactions were significant statistically for four tillage systems (p<0.001).
