History, residue, and tillage effects on erosion of loessial soil

Abstract

The four components of this study were 1) evaluating the impacts of long term no tillage (NT) versus chisel/disc tillage (CT) on erosion of a loessial soil, 2) differentiating between the effects of residues and soil properties, 3) determining any interactions between past tillage method and recent tillage, and 4) assessing the effect of herbicide use on the soil conservation of an NT soil.
