No-till soil had greater water content, lower bulk density, and greater water-holding capacity; greater water infiltration; and under ponding conditions, recharge through macropores to .4 to .6 meters depth.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightSoilWaterConservation agricultureConservation tillageSoil water contentTillageNo-tillResidue managementWater infiltrationField ScaleTillage and winter wheat residue management effects on water infiltration and storageAbstractCopyright 1993 Soil Science Society of America
