Abstract

For improvement or change in a plowing system, it is crucial that all important parameters to be taken in account. Recommendation of a TILLAGE system should receive supports from research data as well as from skilled farmers in order to find a resolution to problems of that system. In this study, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS (SWOT) of different TILLAGE systems for wheat cultivation in the Khodabandeh region (Zanjan province, Iran) were identified and ranked using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on the viewpoints of skilled farmers, the main THREATS in TILLAGE systems, which include small farm lands in the region, lack of qualitative research on new TILLAGE systems and lack of government support, affected the system selection (32 percent), relative STRENGTHS (26 percent), OPPORTUNITIES (22 percent), and weakness (20 percent). Because of these THREATS, farmers keep using conventional TILLAGE method (with the value of 47 percent) in spite of their awareness about the benefits of conservation TILLAGE and no-tillage methods. In this situation, the recommended measures are; making new policies for the land integration, performing qualitative research specially on new machinery, clarifying the government's policies on exporting and importing agricultural products and on the amount of guaranteed prices of products before starting the growing season. By these activities the THREATS can be replaced by OPPORTUNITIES and STRENGTHS.
