A comparative study was conducted in the years 2000 and 2001 with four conventional tillage methods to determine the effect of tillage methods on precision maize sowing. The tillage methods were: Method I - chisel plow, disc harrow, and roller; Method II - moldboard plow, disc harrow, and roller; Method III - moldboard plow, powered rotary tiller, and roller; and Method IV - chisel plow, powered rotary tiller, and roller. Maize was sown in silty-loam soil at a tractor speed of 6 km/h and nominal sowing depth of 40 mm. A precision vacuum seeder was used in the field tests. Multiple index, miss index, and quality of feed index of horizontal distribution pattern and emergence rate index, and mean emergence time were not affected by tillage methods and years of experiment. The most uniform sowing depth and the maximum percentage of emergence were obtained with Method II.
