    Abstract:

    The effect of controlled traffic with conservation tillage (CTCT) on fuel consumption in annual two crops region in northern China was analyzed to illustrate its advantage on energy saving, thus further to promote its application. When subsoiling, fuel consumption of CTCT was reduced by 23.7%, in which trafficking fuel consumption was reduced by 23.8% and working fuel consumption was reduced by 36.3%, compared to non-controlled traffic with conservation tillage (NCTCT). While in maize and wheat planting, fuel consumption reduction was reduced by 23.9% and 26.0%, respectively. For the two-year period, compared to NCTCT, CTCT significantly reduced fuel consumption by 28.6% (27.09 L/hm2) in average. Results indicated that CTCT was a useful way to reduce agricultural machine field fuel consumption by separating traffic and crop zone, therefore to reduce working resistance force.
