Infiltration and Soil Loss Changes during the Growing Season under Ploughing and Conservation Tillage

Infiltration and Soil Loss Changes during the Growing Season under Ploughing and Conservation Tillage

Decreased water retention and increased runoff and soil loss are of special importance concerning soil degradation of hilly crop fields. In this study, plots under ploughing (conventional) tillage (PT) and conservation tillage (CT; 15 years) were compared. Rainfall simulation on 6 m2 plots was appli...
