The objective of the study is to determine if conservation tillage increases the water infiltration rate on two different soils, with the hope of better explaining the mechanism for previously observed increases in soil water storage.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightSurface waterSoil managementSemiarid zonesConservation tillageDisc permeameterHydraulic conductivitySoil waterField ScaleAbstractCopyright CSIRO 1996https://doi.org/10.1071/SR9960299
