Tillage, residue, and erosion on moderately sloping soils

MEMBER ASAE TILLAGE treatments leaving 20 % or more of the soil surface covered with residue reduced soil erosion by at least 50 % of that which occurred from a moldboard plow system. No-till had the least erosion and tended to have the lowest cumulative runoff. These results were based on rainfall simulation tests on six tillage treatments used on both 5 and 10 % slopes in continuous corn production
