Abstract: Wheat was sown in standing stubble without prior tillage using a discer, a triple-disc drill (coulter-equipped double-disc drill), a hoe-drill, and a hoe-drill with rod weeder attachment at Saskatoon and Melfort, Saskatchewan. The triple-disc drill resulted in the least disturbance of soil and standing stubble, but stands and yields were sometimes lower than with the discer and hoe-drill seeders. Grassy weeds and certain persistent perennial weeds were more prevalent in plots sown with the triple-disc drill than in those sown with the other seeders. The interaction between seeders and fertilizer application was not significant.
